They could support a family on one income. At a lower standard of living. For a shorter lifespan.<br /><br />God, you people are dolts."</i><br /><br />9/11/10 9:29 AM<br /><br />Do you suggest that people's lives in the 1960s were <i>worse</i> than today? That family lives where one parent could stay home and attend to the children were <i>worse</i> than today, where many children are latch-key children? That the ability to buy a modest home on one salary was a <i>worse</i> circumstance than buying overlarge, overvalued, overpriced homes today, requiring two salaries, (and often two or more mortgages along the way)? That goods being made in the USA, thus providing employment, was <i>worse</i> than today, where virtually all goods are made abroad by non-American labor, thus ensuring continuing high (and rising) unemployment?<br /><br />How do you define "lower standard of living?" By the number of big, wasteful shitty things people can accumulate? By the amount of debt one is slave to?<br /><br />"Shorter lifespan?" Ha. The 60s were hardly ancient history, and most adults were not dropping dead at 40, or even 50. Average life expectancy includes infant mortality rates, and as more children survive childhood, (or rather, as fewer children die), the average life expectancy will rise, even if adults do not live any longer on average than in the past. <br /><br />It's rich, that those who fulminate against the government living beyond its means will huff and puff about much better off we citizens are today, who must work--those of us who are employed--harder and longer to buy and maintain a home, where our lives are littered with <i>stuff</i>, stuff bought not with money we have now but with money we will have in the future, thus making us, in a true sense, long term wage slaves.<br /><br />Knock yourselves out; your waking arguments aren't any less brainless.Robert Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951286299515983901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-79786006376512504022010-09-11T10:16:29.006-05:002010-09-11T10:16:29.006-05:00He isn't the most charasmatic guy, but he love...He isn't the most charasmatic guy, but he loves riding motorcycles and has an impeccable ability to relate to everyone. He is very personable, even staying with strangers in their homes on campaign tours. I interned with at the state house in Indy two years ago and was in a couple meetings with him, truly a neat guy to listen to. <br /><br />Regarding slogans, My Man Mitch has been affective in Indiana. Ask any resident and almost all will recognize it. During the 2008 campaign he rolled out Mi Amigo Mitch to relate to the hispanic population. Kind of catchy when you hear it enough! Of course the opposition has the obvious "Ditch Mitch" slogan, but nObama is pretty easy too!<br /><br />I really really hope Mitch runs in 2012.
