The President and Congress Got It Right

Dear ones:

you know why grandma letty is celebrating the congress and president? Because they got something done.
With the present government set-up, that's nearly impossible. And when I say "something" got done that is accurate. It's something, but it isn't a lot.
But they got it right.
They asked for a Ferrari and finally in the face of total opposition they got a Buick.
Getting a Buick is no small feat, under the circumstances.
The health care bill that it looks like everyone is settling for is no Ferrari. By the time the conference committee is done with it, it may even not be a Buick. Or a new Buick. Maybe a used Buick.
But the lesson was not lost on me.
My husband and I are totally out of money. We now get the bulk of our groceries from Catholic Charities. His medicine costs $400; mine $800, and we decimated our retirement, not on our high living, but on the economy's high living.
So I wasn't going to ask for a Christmas present. Then the Health Bill. And I told John (husband) I wanted a diamond pendant for a gift. I did that, knowing I won't get one. But I'll betcha he springs for a zircon or something to hang around my neck. I won't get a Ferrari. But my money is bet on a used Buick.
Merry Christmas to all . We are all very blessed. And it looks good for all our children who don't have health coverage: 6 in all.
