Why I Am Depressed

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel , “Pick  up your shovels, mount your asses  and camels, and I will  lead you to the Promised Land.”

Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land.”

Today, Congress has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land!

I was so depressed last night thinking about Health Care Plans, the economy, multiple wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc. .  .. . I called a Suicide Hotline.  I had to press 1 for English.

I was connected to a call center in Pakistan.  I told them I was suicidal. They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck……

Folks, we’re in trouble!

  1. Good one Cathy. Unfortunately it is a very expensive laughing matter. Hang in there November is just around the corner.
