8. No doubt we're being taken to the cleaners

If we don't get something done about our so called free press we've truly screwed. Its not supposed to be this way. I'm old enough to remember when a person could make enough to pay her/his bills and save money for vacations and rainy days. Now it takes two and sometimes three jobs to make ends meet. I think it was Will Rogers who said that there ought to be a politician hanging from every tree between here and Washington, something to that effect. I'm not advocating anything like that but the jest of the statement is right on with todays crop of politicians, 'specially the republiCON party. We still have a few good Democratic members in congress but only a few are left.
