A friend of mine since childhood lives there, and life has been very hard for her lately. She has lost just about everything in the mess: her job, went though a divorce (her husband was angry because she couldn’t get another job right away), her replacement job that barely paid enough, and now her house.
She takes care of her elderly mother and a teenage child from a previous marriage, and they don’t have anywhere to go. They might even end up coming out here to NY to live with me, although I must say that things aren’t that much better for me either.
This is what the lesser of two evils has gotten us, and in some cases the aboslute evil. Government spending at the levels it has been at helps absolutely nothing, ever. It makes casualties out of the successful and takes us down the road to financial ruin.
Moderates can just go packing as far as I’m concerned, and what happens to them afterward I hope is far worse than what we average kinds of people are going through.
What is going on is massive wealth re-distribution and you and your friend are probably not one of the distributees. I hope things approve for you and yours.
