6. It makes it a little tougher.
The small luxuries we try to enjoy will slowly disappear.

2. Well, you know what Repugnants say:.....
..."I don't care what the gas bill is. He's still our President, and I just trust him, no matter what happens. I think we should just do what he says, and respect him as President. If we have to pay more for freedom, than that's just the price we all should pay".....

Please pass me another cup of Kool-aid.....

5. But at least gays can't get married
:sarcasm:

Seriously though, that sucks. And the worst part of it is that most, if not all of this, is a direct result of Chimpy's pathetic policy making and ineptitude. How that SOB is still in office I cannot fathom.

:hug: and Metta for you my friend.

7. My son's little 4 room house was 250 dollars.. I saw this coming
last fall, so I went out and cut 15 truck loads of wood. I haven't burned wood in my fireplace insert in over 10 years, but that fire hasn't went out since I started it in October.
