What Ever Happened

What ever happened to people, who really cared about the poor and needy in my beloved country? The current Presidental The administration would like us to go away. Why not pray God will have the final say! Yes, rising stock market is good news. But what about the poor people trying to make it month after month. Rising rents are higher than most people's incomes. Where is all of their extra money supposed to come from When a franchise owner of a local Denny;s on Evergreen Way, in Everett Washington, had to close down his restaurant. Why, because the greedy landlord raised the rent much higher than he needed to. It was located not in the high rent district of Everett. When is enough really enough! A President of the United States of America only cares about the wealthy. And really wants to forget about the rest of us. Cutting Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. While lining the pockets of his wealthy friends. What a terrible trend this country is headed in! The people of Saint Louis are facing severe wage cuts. When is enough, enough? The current administration does not really care whether care or not his people breathe fresh air. Having pure water to drink, or fresh and healthy food to eat. He does not care if the poor and the homeless line city streets. Does he really care? President Donald Trump maybe would say, "If they don't have any food to eat, let them eat cake!" Yes our nation's infer structure does badly need repair. He cares about repairing bridges, and free ways. Maybe he even cares if the workers get paid! Love as always!

Hi Roxanne, well you believe in telling it as you see it and I like that. There is too much of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Time to give the poorer folks an equal shake. Loved the write. Have a wonderful evening. Hugs always ..... Mike. XX
