I don't see anyone on here considering our current situation as funny.
I think we can all see it is dire......and it is dire because we had a joke of a government for 13 years...and who you would have us believe, should still hold the keys to the coffers.

I have lived through hard times, times when we burned furniture because we could not afford coal....so don't tell me about the hard times to come......I have lived them, and doubtless will live them and survive again.
