People also need to learn you can't suck and blow at the same time. Everyone wants services, even free lunches in the schools if you can imagine and then when the leader of the country goes into debt they bitch about that. I'd bet if I just added up the cost of all the tattoos I see in this city, it would equate to about ten years of lunches. We can afford tattoos but we can't afford to eat.............lovely! Just the cost of cable and internet today outstrips the entire family budget when I was a kid. Everyone criticises Harper's debt load but they don't stop to think that his $s are actually nickels. When I first started work a cup of coffee was a dime!
OUr Lions club provides about $2500 each year to the lunch program in the local elementary school for the kids whose parents can't get it together to feed their kids. SOme of these kids don't even get breakfast before leaving home.
