In reply to the discussion: Romney would raise eligibility age for Medicare [View all]Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)Romney has been wealthy for so long that he is living in an isolated bubble of money.
He doesn't know how to write a budget for the United States because he doesn't have a budget for his own family!
He doesn't have to work out the details if he can afford a new car in the next 3 years, or a new flat screen tv in the next 2 years, or even pay for all of the groceries his family will eat this year!
Romney's comments the other day about his wife owning 2 Cadillacs show just how disaffected he is from the common, ordinary person's life in America.
Not only did he brag about his wife owning 2 automobiles, but they are both expensive Cadillacs!
Who does that kind of thing when they are running for the office of President??
In 1992 a reporter asked George H. W. Bush how much a gallon of milk cost during one of the debates he had with Clinton. And Bush was so out of touch with the common, ordinary every-day purchasing decisions of most Americans, he had no clue.
He didn't have to pinch pennies since he was born wealthy and he had no idea how hard it was to get by in those days for the rest of us, the 99% that weren't big shot Texas oil millionaires.
Romney won't need Social Security to get by, so he doesn't give a good gawd damn about anyone else planning on having to rely on it when they retire.
Hell, Romney doesn't work today, so he doesn't even know what work is, not really. If he retired this summer, he wouldn't need Soical Security, Medicare, or any other government program to help him meet his needs.
He has Ayn Rand syndrome -- "I got mine, now you get yours."
He couldn't care less how anyone else lives.
Poverty to him is a news story that he watched on tv once.
The poverty level is for non-Mormons, non-whites, and non-Republicans.
Some forum members are complaining about bigotry at the DU, but that's real bigotry when you get right down to it.
"You're not a member of my political party, you're not a member of my race, and you're not a member of my church, so I don't care about you.
Vote for me, anyway."
Fat chance!!
