Really Nuts
A waitress in Iowa has said it best:
“You people are really nuts,” she told a reporter during a phone interview. “There’s kids dying in the war, the price of oil right now — there’s better things in this world to be thinking about than who served Hillary Clinton at Maid-Rite and who got a tip and who didn’t get a tip.”
I don’t think any of these candidates are listening to us. In their zeal to be president, they forget about us and how we’re not doing well. Not well at all. The middle class in this country is eroding faster than a New Orleans levee. When a gallon of milk is $5 and a loaf of bread is almost $3, there’s little extra money left for the luxuries like heating oil or gas to drive to work. And mind you, some Americans don’t have access to mass transit. They must drive.
So the average American out in Rob Reiner’s fly-over land is in real trouble. Who’s going to stop this madness? The millionaire candidates running for president? I don’t think so.
As the waitress said, they’re really nuts.
