OPINION:
In 2008 I contributed $5,002 to 55 different charities. In 2015 I contributed $1,775 to 25 different charities. In seven years even my contributions to my local parish were cut almost in half. That’s a 64.5-percent reduction in overall charitable giving.
Does this mean my cost of living has increased that much? My lifestyle has not changed significantly, except that I am now traveling less. My only conclusion is that the ’creep-up’ poverty of the Obama economy has worked.
President Obama promised “hope and change.” We got the change but have lost all hope.
