(30,476 posts)I'm feeling more optimistic.
If Romney wins, I'm afraid and the spouse I may have to give up on this country (shit, I feel guilty just saying that),
at least for ourselves...What would happen, I think, is that we would wait five years until the spouse is able to retire and then
Go Somewhere Else -- Maybe Europe or Canada -- or maybe just to THE most progressive state in the country -- California?
Vermont?...I don't know...It's a mess. As the spouse and I were saying last night, we're in our early sixties and frankly,
we're SICK and tired of this horrible, seemingly relentless march to the Right that's been happening here since Reagan.
As Boomers, we remember a Better America, a MUCH Better country, and it gets SO tiresome having to FIGHT for every
Little last vestige of the New Deal America we were both raised in. the fact is, this country has the SMALLEST safety net of
any western democracy in the world, and the Fascists want to take even THAT from us.
