The squirrel and I thank you
The squirrel and I thank you for viewing our post. Yes the squirrel is real and no he doesn’t talk. Watching him eat did make me think. As much as the Republican would want people to think the reason for food stamps, reduced housing, Medicaid and other social safety nets is because people are lazy and don’t want to work. It is not so. Any living thing will do what they must to keep from starving, freezing or suffering. They don’t just say it is too much effort, I would rather sit here and die.
The world has changed and we can’t go back. Populations have increased, resources have shrunk and globalization, automation and technology have changed the employment needs. This country must change with the times. The idea that we need to get back to the good old days is a conservative fantasy. If the Republican machine has its way they will say the United States is the best place in the world to live if you have wealth, position and power. They will also say, with pride, in poverty and human suffering we are proud to say we have caught up and expect to exceed the countries we used to condemn for the treatment of their people.
