Jeneane decided to point out that she hated social security today. I couldn't help myself so of course the obvious question that followed that comment was, "Why?" She put together the lame basics that most outdated conservative teachers cover in class (before I get a few nasty emails tomorrow I just want to say that he really is old and outdated, I met him).
1. I'm not benefiting from it.
2. It won't be around when I'm old enough to get it.
3. People should take care of themselves.
I was happy to see that she obviously is paying attention in class but saddened to the reality that as long as I live in Texas, I will have to fight to raise my children with the liberal social views that I believe I try to live by. I respected her argument and asked her questions about the things that she had not thought about. She came up with her own conclusion, and for a young kid, that is as good as it gets. I am posting her pretty little school picture..... I know, I know, thank you, thank you, she does look like me, doesn't she?
I was actually going to write about the federal debt. In fact, I put a debt counter on the right hand side of my blog to keep up with the mounting debt. I tried to write but I couldn't keep my eyes off the numbers because they move so fast. I was hypnotised and I figured that must have been what happened to congress. I bet after a while the numbers just fade into the background. So this is sort of a test for me. I want to see if I am as amazed by that number in a few months as I am today or if it just begins to be that, just a number.
My car broke down today. My rocket car (Afif's name for it) literally smoked. I picked Afif up on Jeneane's bike. Here I was going to the damn gym everyday and I couldn't walk after two blocks on a bike. I am definitely doing something wrong here.
