Oh come now! How long can you and the Kerry camp deny the economic evidence now flowing out of Washington? Past the first Tuesday in November?

<<<Back to the economy stupid What recovery? Working poor struggle to pay bills By Stephanie Armour, USA TODAY >>> Where oh where has Stephanie been for the past 80 years.? Has she never heard that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? There will always be a working poor population, and I spent a lot of time there. At 35 cents an hour, at $17.50 a week, at $0.95 cents an hour. How many Mexican immigrants come in per year and work for minimum wage, when they can find a job.? The difference between today and yesterday is that people can afford food and clothes and there are almost too many organizations providing help to those who qualify as poor. Housing is not so easy to come by . And cars are impossible. Those will kill any budget. Interest, payments, insurance, gas, maintenance and smog checks. Nobody in government promised both cars and home ownership, and health insurance, and life insurance, and dental insurance, and childrens education costs. . Nobody except our Military Services, that is. Its a struggle at the lower levels, always was, always will be. Forced to make choices and try to get better at it. Sig
