I am feeling so much dumber after tonight.

I know I have posted a bit as thoughts come to me, and maybe I shouldn't, but the overarching feeling that I have right now is that I have no right as a retired working class person (who will still work if there is a job available) to complain over the fact that the system didn't deliver to me what really hard work would have. Never mind that I worked hard all my life but maybe I was a drunk or not dedicated enough to making my overlords take notice of me.

I am a failure and I shouldn't expect hard working people to pay for my Social Security and Medicare, never mind I paid into it all my life.

I'm hoping if there are debates with a balanced audience, the cheers might be better for us.
