No one ever talks about the importance of emotional state in an economic disaster situation. Liberals are going to be in really bade shape because they’re already depressed and jealous.

On the other hand, I grew up poor and find that being broke has zero effect on my emotional state. Plus, I couldn’t care less about those who have more.

I have worked until my hands bled. I have gone a week without food. I have hunted and fished just to eat. I have heated my abode with wood in a brutal winter, and had to thaw the water jug to have water. The outhouse...that puts all else in perspective.

I had hoped for more for my grandchildren (still do), but if need be, I can teach them what they need to know if they weren't paying attention.
