This morning, CBS radio news reported that consumers are having to give things up in the wake of the economic travails our once great nation is experiencing. The news report cited people (horrors!) forgoing $3.00 cups of coffee, refilling bottles of water from the (Can you imagine this?) tap, and (gasp!) skipping trips to the spa. (Parenthetical remarks mine, of course.)
Is there no end to the sacrifice required of us? How much more can we take? Our parents and grandparents surely did not have to endure forgoing $3.00 cups of coffee, refilling their bottled water from the tap, and skipping trips to the spa! Oh, the humanity!
Just keep repeating to yourself: “This is the greatest, toughest, most dominant nation on earth! We are willing to make any sacrifice, bear any hardship, and assume any burden life throws in our path. We are battle hardened, tested, and ready to tell every other nation how to conduct its affairs because we have been toughened and made wise and have figured it all out. The best is yet to come! The best is yet to come!”
O tempora, o mores!
