I am quickly approaching fifty-seven years living in America and didn’t realize until recently that America was a wonderful, even an idyllic Garden of Eden, prior to January 2001.
Our health care system was in great shape; remember how Hillary said it couldn’t be improved?
Social Security was solvent; remember Al Gore’s glowing praise of all that money tucked away in the lock box?
Schools were safe havens and America’s kids were finishing atop every worldwide education statistic.
There was no crime; you could walk any street in any urban neighborhood at midnight.
There was no poverty. Every child in America went to bed with a full stomach.
FEMA was a well-oiled government agency and was always first on the scene of every natural disaster.
There was no corruption in government. the 535 Club only looked out for the little guy.
Big business took care of the little guy.
Women made as much as men, doing the same job.
The Jews and Arabs lived in harmony; the people of Iraq loved Saddam Hussein.
The air was clean; you could drink the water right out of Lake Erie…
Yep, those were the good ole days…
Then America went to hell in a hand basket – it happened overnight; the first night George W. Bush slept in the White House as President…
It’s ALL George W. Bush’s fault…and soon it will all be John S. McCain’s fault.
