The More Things Change....

Do any of these comments sound familiar to you?

THE YEAR WAS 1955...

 Did you hear the post office is thinking

about charging 7 cents just to mail a letter?              

If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody

will be able to hire outside help at the store.                        

  When I first started driving, who  would have

thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon? 

Guess we'd be better off leaving  the car in the garage.                       

 Did you see where some baseball player just signed

a contract for  $50,000 a year just to play ball?

It wouldn't surprise me if someday  they'll be making

more than the President.                       

  I never thought I'd see the day  all our kitchen

appliances would be electric. They're even making

electric typewriters now.        

  It's too bad things are so tough  nowadays. I see

where a few married women are having to  work to

make ends meet.        

  It won't be long before young   couples are going to

have to hire  someone to watch their kids so they

can both work.                                                                                                     

 I'm afraid the Volkswagen car  is going to open the

door to a  whole lot of foreign business.        

Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when

the government takes half our income in taxes.

I sometimes wonder if we are  electing the best

people to  government.         

The fast food restaurant is  convenient for a quick

meal, but I seriously doubt they  will ever catch on.         

  There is no sense going on short trips any more

for a weekend. It  costs nearly $2.00 a night to

stay  in a hotel.        

No one can afford to be sick anymore.  At $15.00

a day in the hospital, it's too rich for  my blood.                       

If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a haircut, forget it.
