It's sad to see the negative responses I received to my humor regarding who's responsible for our debts and my humor to the debt collector. She got a kick out of it.
My critic states to start with myself. Well, understand this: I lived the '60s and '70s, people back then, cared. I'm a single mother of two, presently working for minimum wage, caring for a disabled brother, limited health insurance, own a home in a rural area, therefore, we have to drive, and still conserve. We close off rooms in our home in the winter cold months to save on heating fuel. Therefore, we all sleep in our living room.
Walk our shoes -- trying to keep my children's needs, such as their school activities, keeping them off the streets, good nutrition, and now the price of cheap food such as eggs is over $2/doz., when last year that cheap food was under $1. Milk over $4/gal, cereal over $4. Basic items, such as the price of flour has increased -- wheat, and other cereal ingredients from $3 bushel, to over $25.
And furthermore, have you thought about the poor average farmer? What his expenses are? Tractor expenses: Plow the fields, rake the field, plant, harvest, and then trucking, just for one item, such as CORN. And is that corn for our food consumption, the cow to eat, or fuel? Or, maybe sent to foreign countries. In case you are not aware, all food and dairy products, do NOT come from the store. I am glad that you can afford luxuries and good nutrition, while many, many families, nationwide such as ours are living on pasta dishes, peanut butter, and similar cheap foods. Many families can't afford to keep our children from hunger, because it's going into the gas tanks..Oh, by the way, I drive an old mini van, no brand new SUV.
