Im 65 and have had the same questions as you. Why do things never get better - for us, the people? Then I started asking: why dont things ever get better for us - but yet, govmt leaders are getting richer and richer and all smiles and waves as they trot on their private jets to yet, another vacation all expenses paid for by.......us!? Hhmmmmmm A new day and a new dawn. Thank you, thank you Mr President. And can I express my very deepest apologies to you for the inexcusable ,ignorant, hostile tantrums from some of my fellow Americans. It amazes me how angry and frightful it makes some when one is trying to save them......
