Enough with change!

Atascadero

Robert Parkhurst


Some politicians are now calling for change—this might even sound good to young people who have no memory of the past. I remember when gas was 25 cents a gallon. My first house cost $29,000, and a loaf of bread was 20 cents. I remember when jobs were easy to get because things were still made in the United States. I even remember when Democrats and Republicans both wanted to win World War II, Congress didn’t try to withhold money from our troops, and nobody protested our men in the service or told them they were fighting a war they couldn’t win.

We’ve had change already—and I’ve had enough!
