Better off? No way in Hell. I have gotten several promotions, and granted, in education, that’s not a huge raise. But, man, it’s getting tougher to fill the tank, get clothes for the kids…savings? Home improvement? Retirement? Saving for college for the little Politicos? Not gonna happen, my friend. I only pray that the Dems get in and that we can rebuild the country, but this is a bigger job than we’ve ever faced. It’s gonna get interesting…
