One side taxes and spends and the other side creates huge welfare
programs, and support the notion that people should not take responsibility for themselves. Two sides of the same coin. Maybe it's because I am more of an optimist. Things tend to balance out one way or another. The pendulum swings both ways. I much prefer to hold that view, the to be forever worried about gloom and doom around the corner.

I'll deal with that when the time comes. Meanwhile, I'm going to enjoy my life whether times are lean of plenty. And on that note, in the words of Red Skelton... "Goodnight, and may God Bless"....
