She told the President, "I'm exhausted at defending you" and wanted to know "Is this my new reality?".
Well, I think most of the country is exhausted. Those of us still working are running around like exhausted little gerbils inside our little exercise wheels, running twice as hard as we used to, mostly to make up for all the people who AREN'T working with us anymore. Meanwhile, those above us tell us a) how lucky were are to even have a job and how b) we have to make even more profits for them because they might have to pay more taxes next year.
The top 400 richest Americans have acombined 8% more in net worth in 2009 than they did in 2008, the rest of us have flat or declining incomes. I had someone comment the the other day that just having a job is like getting a raise these days. My, how the exhausted American worker's expectations have fallen in the past several years!
This is NOT the change we all voted for. Ms. Velma Hart said it, I say it and I think there is an awful lot of those in the Tea Party movement who are saying it.....they just aren't articulating it very well.
