Friday

I'm driving clear across the country from west coast to east coast. I'm not a key board junkie waiting to respond to every post. Some people just love to spend all day on the computer. I'm sorry that some people don't understand the point I was trying to make which was like someone pointed out SARCASM. Why can't the single mom get a bailout?Why can't blue collar workers get a bailout? Why can't the person who unfortunately has a big pile of medical bills get a bailout? Why can't small businesses get a bailout? And on and on and on without jumping through hoops if they can get one at all
