How Much is Enough?

I hear Barney Frank telling us that Fannie Mae is A OK. I hear Bush telling us that Enron is great -- don't touch it. I saw in 1980, people paying 1500 dollars to rent a house. Just how important is family really. I wonder what kind of salary could insure that that sort of rent could ... well, be covered. Wow -- 1500 to pay the rent without all the other stuff. The middle class must have suffered. It makes me think that rent controll is not bad stuff. That life in Europe is good. I could write a lot of words, but B. Frank has been in office since 1981 and I think I have to suggest that people do retire. Of course, I could add that if congress stays up all night passing secret plans, wouldn't it be better if those in Washington actually held a civil 9-5 job? You know, I hate to say it, but almost like the rest of us -- that they worked and went home and retired before they died. I mean Frank's upside down smile. I mean I can understand people wanting to own their own home when to rent means paying half a salary a month with both partners working almost. But somehow I don't quite believe that any of them are innocent. Is it just me?
