yepp, gonna go through life with blinders on....................gee golly it is a wonderful economy Wally! Ward is working two jobs to pay for his gas to commute to his first job which has cut his hours and benefits, but golly gee life is great.
June can't get that operation cause her HMO denied her Dr what was once a standard procedure, but gee golly, the Beav can grow up without her. He can always hang out with Eddie Haskell and become a juvenile delinquent. But hey there is always Wally, him and Lumpy can collect pop bottles for the .05 redemption.
Gee golly, things are grand, ain't they

It has been said that Americans like to complain......well, some do.
I have nothing to bemoan. It's all good for me.

It all boils down to this...
Some see the glass as being half full while many others obviously do not. I don't particularly share this perspective, but that's what makes horse races. It's their prerogative and I support a persons right to view the world through a pessimistic lens.
However, what I do find objectionable is the innocuous
class warfare that nearly always accompanies this point of view.

The glass is not half full or half empty.. you are just using the wrong size glass...
Life is what you make of it. The good, the bad, the ugly.. how you handle it and react is what is going to make you what you are. If times get tough then get a little tougher. When times are better... enjoy it more.
That's my 2¢ worth..
wait.. to keep up with the cost of living expenses...... make that 50¢ worth
All I pay my psychiatrist is the cost of feed and hay, and he'll listen to me any day.

What happened to cost of living adjustments? Seems like there will be a big one (Big Giant Green Tidal Wave) coming soon.
