Voice Of the People , ” Main Street USA “

One passer by greets another walking down Main Street, ” Oh. hello, Gertrude. How are you?”
She replies, ” Oh, as well as can be expected. I guess. How about you  Millie? “
“Fine, except I just went to fill up the tank in my brand new SUV, and guess what it cost, one hundred and twenty five dollars and some change!” There goes the money I was going to spend on a few extra groceries this week”.
“I know, replied Gertrude, the cost of living is getting out of hand.”
Pretty soon, we’ll just have to stay home more instead of going shopping and eating out from time to time. Otherwise, I won’t be able to afford to pay my new Un-Affordable Obama Health Care Plan. That is projected to cost my family twenty thousand dollars a year to start with! And, if you don’t pay, you’ll be fined at least two thousand dollars! “
“Yes, I know, said Mille, and how about the cost of living eating into our vacation plans? We promised to take the kids somewhere this summer. But, at this rate, we may have to just take a few day trips instead.”
“I know, said Gertrude, it’s tough! I hope we won’t have trouble just getting by. We certainly can’t afford any more taxes!. That is for sure! “
Citizens throughout Bergen County and elsewhere are all sharing the same thoughts ,while attempting to go about their normal activities.
Every household is either facing tax increases, unemployment, rising healthcare cost, housing problems, returning  veterans’ challenges or a combination thereof. College students with large tuition loans to pay back are forced to live at home,while a lack of jobs stalls new graduates’ careers.
With a shrinking private sector, along with a bankrupt government that is crying wolf at every turn, one wonders if we are still living in America or in some fly by night, third world colony, on a remote island somewhere in the South Pacific. Where is America?
Meanwhile, there is a strange sense of foreboding and uncertainty spreading about here in suburbia. Could it be that our federal government has lost its’ way? Republicans and Democrats alike have no budget, no constitution and no rule of law currently in use.
Is it time now for citizens to take notice that nothing goes on forever, not even a Republic, unless its leaders are made to follow the rule of law and the constitution for which they have taken  an oath?.
Stop and think folks. There is something wrong going on here, and it is up to us to sort it out, and to stop the train of destruction from continuing to move down the track toward its ultimate demise….
So hop on board, and begin to pull on the emergency cord NOW, before it is too late! It’s up to you and me and all Americans to heed the warning whistle and to stop the fatal train before it is too late.
From one citizen and one household  to another…………God Bless America and Forever May She Remain Free!
