We are all feeling the crunch of a down economy. Even those of us that remain employed are getting pay cuts, or not getting raises to keep up with the ever-rising cost of living. Christmas bonuses? What are those again?
It seems that everyone is exchanging the steak for hamburger, dropping the cable, or camping instead of cruising.
It’s what we do as Americans. We pull up our big kid pants, put our noses to the grindstone, buckle down, and plow through difficult times.
There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Yes, it’s hard. No, it’s not fair. Life isn’t fair, and no one ever said that it was. So we all sacrifice because people took out loans they could never afford to repay. We all sacrifice rather than cutting public spending for those that need it. We do what needs to be done, no matter how hard it is.
We all sacrifice … so that our elected officials can live the life of Riley.
