As you pack up your things, Joe and Kamala, I just wanted to take the time to thank you for taking such good care of middle- and lower-middle-class Americans these past four years.

In case you forgot, that’s those of us who make under $40,000, $30,000 or even $25,000 a year. Prices keep rising on everything from food to gas to medication. What’s next?

I also want to thank you for allowing me to have a monthly food allowance of $23. That sure stretches easily to cover the whole month.



I’m certain there are many more taxpaying American citizens who would like to extend their own gratitude for the rising cost of everything and their far smaller monthly food allowances. Hopefully they can get through on the White House switchboard before your Louis Vuittons are zipped.

Enjoy your gourmet dinners, you two.
