My wife grew up kind of poor. We’ve obtained the status of “Midwest rich” (comfortable but nowhere near wealthy). One Halloween she started giving out full sized candy bars and it made her really happy to be able to do that. Now we’re a popular stop for trick or treaters! |
Yep- because right now Democrats symbolize the new progressive American family - embracing all types! |

Well let’s see, for decades they were both teachers who don’t make much money. They needed IVF to have their kids, and one of them has a learning disability. Sent both kids to college. He was in Congress where you need to maintain a place to stay here as well as your residence. Now he’s the Governor. Not sure they really ever had a lot of extra money. But I’m sure we’ll find out more when we see their tax returns. |
Change from her? |
Thanks, I will be very interested if/when they are released. The man is 60 something with no investments. Pretty shocking in my world. |
Not that unusual for a small town teacher, in my experience. My mom retired from teaching with a pension and nothing else. |
The Carters were facing possible bankruptcy when they left the WH. And pensions for Presidents didn't' start until 1958. Truman had to knuckle down and start writing when he left office as one of the 5 poorest former presidents. He had a 1500/yr Army pension and turned down corporate jobs. Of those 5, one was a teacher (Arthur) and two (Garfield and Wilson) were college presidents. Walz's life is not ready for a best selling memoir yet. |
The guy is a governor, not a teacher. Hasn’t been a teacher since 2006. Something is seriously wrong with this picture. |
