Things are still in line, we make much more, so everything has to cost more. But it is much the same, as it was. But now, we have many who do not work, and get everything. Due to the fact they have AIDS, or a drinking problem, or do drugs, and a mother without a husband, who has many children, by many men. When my Grandparents had hard times, they just got throuht it, with help from family, and friends, not the Government, like now. Which is better, now or than? Why do we have to feed those who do not try and feed themselfs? Why do we send money to a place, far away, who speaks bad of us, and could turn on us, at any time. What do all of you think on this?
