Pray for the Poor, the Middle Class and the Unemployed

Don't waste your prayers on the group of surly, self-serving politicians we have with any hope they might turn into the Civil Servants we had hopelessly wished for during so many decades of the past -- it just isn't likely to happen.  Instead, pray for all the Poor, nearly starving American families, the hardworking Middle Class like yours and my children (who will likely be strapped for the rest of their lives with ever increasing taxes to pay for our big government's excessive spending and the deficit), and don't forget the Unemployed whose ranks are likely to increase over the next four years.

Pray that these groups of people will survive each day and not become too depressed or fall into hopeless despair or commit suicide because of lack of hope.  May all those people on Welfare and Food Stamps (and the future numbers likely to join them) have the strength to resist spending wastefully on cigarettes, alcohol, lottery tickets and non-healthy foods like doughnuts and wing-dings (should include fast foods like McD's too).

Sure, I'm quite cynical but, it clearly seems to me that something is really broken in America when two Presidential candidates each spend nearly $10 for each vote they received.  That, and the fact they could get bank loans in the Billion Dollar range at sub-prime rates -- guess those loans were guaranteed by the Big Money Donors and Lobbyists who will be looking for their favors (and will most likely get them).

It's just unfathomable and to think of how many soup kitchens that money could have paid for instead of the Rhetoric, Deception and Lies we heard as usual.
