Why is it that nothing is the same, life was good when I was young. Some time later, I saw unions coming to help the people deal with employers and the people got more money for an hour of work. Then it turned into another political party. Since then, the rich have gotten richer and the earning of some got larger. But the union never has done anything for the people that needed help.
The Unions caused wages to go up beyond belief the cost of goods went higher and higher until most people couldn’t afford to buy them. The poor used wooden boxes because they couldn’t afford a chair.
People went down alleys, to see what others were throwing away, and to take it home if they could use it. More people found the way to the city dumps to see if they could find anything there that they could use. A blanket on the floor became beds for many.
Manufactures of goods started to make every thing cheaper to get the price down for the poor. How ever cheap goods didn’t last very long. That was the end of quality. More goods were shipped in from over seas because the cost of labor was a lot less.
Companies moved their business to other countries over seas, to take advantage of lower costs and jobs were lost in the USA. Unemployment was spreading across the nation. And the poor were being crowded off the land and their homes were being taken away. All this, while the rich got richer and the economy kept dropping.
Every other representative in the country, had their own idea on how to fix things. There were two leading parties in America and all they did, was to disagree and fight with one and other.
Elections were held and new people were sent to Washington DC, But still nothing had changed. Money was the king and if you had it, there was no need to worry about. The Government would help the poor by passing new programs. It wasn’t long before everyone wanted to have a piece of that pie. This went on and on and the economy fell lower and lower. There were so many hands reaching for the golden pot, no one noticed that the pot had disappeared. But don’t go away just yet, the government will replace it with another one soon and “puff, there it was!”
I can remember when President Roosevelt came on the radio and told us Just how bad things were. He said something had to be done to put Americans back to work. He created the W P A, a program that gave people jobs, The CCC’s to train young men for new and better jobs. They improved our lakes, built picnic areas camp grounds and parks, build bridges and roads. Helped with what ever the State
Needed. It was good and the economy
while Social Security was growing. Now people could look forward to retirement, The Social Security took a small part of money out of everyone’s pay checks and put it into this fund. Then the government borrowed some of it for other things. Now if you look into this fund, you won’t see any money, but there are pieces of paper that says: I O U !
Don’t know about you, but the stores I deal with, won’t accept I O U’s. My friend and neighbor once had a few pigs and quite a few chickens, but not any more, they all disappeared in the dark of night. The milk cow disappeared a few days later.
The girls that once stood on street corners are gone, no one had the money to support them. Now this should tell you, that the economy had gone down under, for sure. These years were called the Great Depression Years, in the late 1920’s and early 1930”s
Those of you that have retired in these past few years and have Golf Clubs, need not to worry, You got in under the gun. My Bank went belly up, I lost all my savings, lost the house, they took the car, but it wasn’t worth much. The guy across the street offered $50.00 for it, a 2009 model.
I was on a monthly auto payment program, at the bank and didn’t know that no payments had been made for several months. Everything I had was gone, shut off. taken away, the last truck load was taken away yesterday, Now I have No heat, No electricity, No water, No phone and “ they stopped delivering the mail!” The pigeons even refuse to fly close over the house. The following day the house was gone. Nothing there but a vacant lot with a sign saying “ For Sale”
I sent a letter to the Momma Bama and ask her to give it to President Obama. He sent it on to Russia and they sent the letter to one of them countries in the far east. It hasn’t been returned to me as yet, but I am waiting for it. I ask for asylum.
I called the IRS and ask them to return my taxes, you can guess what they said! I am too old to work and only have one or two brain cells that are active. The other one that lives here with me, keeps asking where she is? And the police are tired of bringing her back home!
Anyone have an answer to my problem or are you going to turn your back on me also ? Out of all the people in this world, I was sure I could depend on you…..
Dad passed on and Mother left me alone. and didn’t leave a message or any instructions. Oh! My prayers have been rejected bysomeone in high places. The lawyers are all too busy to handle my case. The good book says to have faith, Faith in what?
The cheapest dog and cat foods are too hard for me to chew, I tried soaking them in water, but the water faucet has stopped dripping. It hasn’t rained here in months and the toilet bowl is dry . I do have love, but that doesn’t help my empty stomach.
Daughter Sara, ran off with a traveling salesman. Mary ( the one without the little lamb) is in Prison with a new baby. Her husband was hung the day before yesterday and all of their kids are being put out of the county home.
However, The church did find a good home for the dog, but the cats are in the city pound with a price tag to be paid. They say, they are feeding and housing six cats that belong to us, but we only had two.
My son came to get his Lawn Mower and a few other things and take them home, but it all had went on that last truck load. Now his wife and kids are suing me. And saying that I made promises that were un-kept !
I tried to borrow money on my life insurance, that was when I found out that I didn’t have any. A long time ago, I put some money in a can and buried it in the back yard, I dug it up and the can was empty.
SOME SAY: I SHOULD BE THANKFUL, THAT I STILL RECEIVE WHAT EVER THE WIND BLOWS IN FROM THE NORTH.
I beg of you, Please, don’t do that on my grave……I’ll wait here for your answer ..
