(1,989 posts)That was a low blow. I don't care how you get access to the Internet. It's no one's business. I'm just glad you're here. If we care any about the digital divide in this country, we'd encourage people having access any way they can get it.
You're worried, really, really, worried. Every dollar counts.
When every dollar counts, you're not interested in three dimensional chess, kabuki theater, or tricking republicans. You want politicians who help you. You especially want the politicians you help elect, to help you.
I think about that with jobs. That topic that has absolutely disappeared. It seems to be the one thing democratic and republican politicians can agree on. They'd rather not work to find ways to help the American people find work. Or maybe its the media that's not interested. If it's not a hot topic, they don't cover it. And unemployed Americans and high gas prices are definitely not hot topics at the moment.
I'm thinking everything will be okay Glitterati. I'm hoping it will all work out. I don't think republicans want a deal. They like snatching the football away. For once, maybe it'll work in our favor. Keeping hoping. If and when the economy picks up, maybe they'll stop offering up Social Security, even as a tease.
The funny thing about it is...if they were to actually concentrate on jobs, the economy would pick up, and social security would not be the problem they all claim it is.
