By-and-large, these are families that are just waiting to get out of here. They are frustrated; I would be, too. I get frustrated at the cash register counter when the paper runs out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is safe to say that when people are short on cash, they might be less productive at work, be worse parents, and have less self-control.
Today you can go to a gas station and find the cash register open and the toilets locked. They must think toilet paper is worth more than money.
Well, isn't every successful person in every family the bankbook?
So many people are busy working now, but we need to go back to the old days when grandma and the neighbors helped raise the children, and we were all the better for it.
If we had loads of money as a family, things would be different and they'd come to visit more and I'd get to spend more time here. But I'm laying down roots in America so when I'm there, just being at home, it's harder to break away from that.
I take a very practical view of raising children. I put a sign in each of their rooms: 'Checkout Time is 18 years.'
These days, checks are direct-deposited, money comes out of a machine in the wall, and we swipe a plastic card to make a purchase. In other words, your kids can grow up thinking money comes in an endless supply if you don't show them otherwise.
Our government is printing money, and it's degrading the living standard of every person in America. It's the cause of frustration, anger, and confusion.
Frankly, one of the problems we have in the country is we're not forming enough families. And that is hurting our economic work, and it's hurting our economic projections, because the best place for a child is within a strong family unit.
I haven't put an ounce of effort into my families. I never have.
