I, for one, do not understand those who voted for Hillary. They say that the 90s were wonderful times but I distinctly remember them quite differently. I remember my pay not meeting the rising cost of living (I was in service. The Clintons saw fit to not give us a decent raise) and robbing Peter to pay Paul in keeping my bills and creditors afloat. I believe that those who support the Clintons are living in the Land of Oz. They feel that if we just ‘turn back the clock’ all will be well again.
The difference is, however, is that we live in a very changed world than we had in the 90s.
For most of the 90s, the world was at peace and America’s economy was strong. Our most fierce competitor was Japan. As time marched on, we now find ourselves embroiled in two wars in the Middle East with a third one threatening. Our economy is near collapse thanks to NAFTA. NAFTA? Oh yes, that would be the agreement passed by Bill “Bubba” Clinton which allowed corporations to take their businesses overseas where they now pay pennies on the dime for labor costs. Our biggest economic competitors now are China, India and Indonesia.
Fuel is expensive, but food prices are abominable. I paid $3.56 for a gallon of gas yesterday but $4.75 for a gallon of milk and $8.75 for two pounds of meat that won’t last but two days. Bread is nearing $2.25 a loaf. I am, again, robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Where was this ‘golden age’ of the 1990s? I must have missed it.
Has anyone asked if Hillary has taken her meds yet? I think she is delusional and suffering from hallucinations.
Everyone close their eyes and click the heels of their ruby red slippers three times and repeat after me: “there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home”.
