Keeping up with the Bidens
Share
It felt like the first day of fall in Media, PA on Tuesday when Senator Joe Biden addressed a crowd of thousands of supporters at the Linvilla Orchards. The outdoor venue was covered with fallen leaves and the stage sat in front of a trailer full of pumpkins. Senator Biden and Dr. Jill Biden stayed to greet the attendees who sat on hay and picnic tables during the speech.
I handed Dr. Biden a ONE band; she thanked me enthusiastically and immediately put it on! When Senator Biden approached and I held out the white band he laughed, “I already have so many ONE bands. I need to start wearing one regularly!” Sounds like a good idea to me!

This last August, I drove from Alberta to New York and back again. In all of my 53 years of
living I’ve never driven across the United States to gain as many memories as I’ve had of the
homeless (mostly young or 30-something (wo)men) that I saw during this trip.
It was very odd in that in the United States of America that there would be so much poverty
that people could not even afford to have ‘cardboard box’ homes.
My questions relates to ‘what’ any ONE of the candidates is going to do to reduce the punishment
exacted on an average American citizen by:
1) Taxes, 2) excessive lawsuit & lawyering awards, 3) medical costs that can wipe out an entire family’s saving in one episode
