I was at a late night party where a few of us were in the den watching the TV that was just ending up with Hillary's concession speech (she did a great job too, as did Michelle Obama the night before!).
Afterwards, I was briefly talking to a friend's older teenage daughter (both of her parents, very Liberal Democrats, were standing there with her). She said she might want to try to run for the Presidency someday herself. I asked her, “If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?
She replied almost instantly, “I'd give houses to all the homeless people.”
I just could not miss the opening opportunity!! “Wow…what a worthy goal,” I told her, “but you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house tomorrow and mow, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where a homeless guy always hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward a new house. In fact you can do that every week as long as you wish”
She thought that over for a few seconds (while her Mom glared at me), then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, “Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?”
And I said, “Welcome to the Republican Party.”
Her folks still aren't talking to me.
