I must be a bad liberal. I did limit how much I spent. There were a lot less presents under the tree this year. And even though I didn't want to I did my kids' school clothes shopping on Black Friday to save money. My husband and I try very hard to be responsible. It's not enough. There's not enough money for rent, food, and all the private insurance policies we now must carry the burden of. I'd be doing a lot better if I didn't have any medical, dental, or life insurance. Our economy is now stacked against us. We must fight back.
