Something to ponder...

Today on the news, I heard that the average cost of health care in America will now consititute one out of every five dollars spent in the USA. By April, the cost of fuel and gasoline will constitute one out of every FOUR dollars spent in America.

In case your math is a bit lacking...

That means the average American will have to work 5 out of every 20 days just to pay for health care, and another 4 out of the SAME 20 days will go toward putting a month's worth of gas in the vehicles.

9 of 20 days to earn enough for just TWO budgetary items vital to the American way of life.

If the GOP still thinks it can dismiss these issues during the campaign year... they are in for a rude awakening.
