catching up

Dear Senator Phil Graham,

I am so sorry we have been whining about the fictional rise in gas and food prices and reduction in employment. I am so sorry we have been making up complaints about minimum wages not being enough to live on. We really should stop "whining" about how hard it is to get shelter we can afford, and health insurance that can keep us out of bankruptcy court.

Silly us.

We should understand that a full-time job should not be enough to pay for shelter, food, and clothing for a single person, let alone a family. I suppose that's why you support family planning, so that we can afford to live on what we make; oh wait, that's right, you oppose funding for contraception, abortion, child care, and needy parents.

Well, as long as we understand that it's all in our heads, we shouldn't have any problems!

Right?

Or maybe you should learn what it's like in the real world.

Have fun living in your pretty mansion with your efficient staff.
