Life was a lot easier way back then. There were no stores open on Sundays, and people visited you in your house or you visited them after church on Sunday. Sundays were for families or going on drives., all stores closed mid afternoon on Saturdays. Doctors did make house calls. Another thing I remember growing up, people didn't use credit cards because they didn't exist. They lived within their means and they seemed to be happier. If you didn't have it, you couldn't spend it. Maybe we need to bring some of that back, and teach Washington D.D. to live within their means also.
