Suck It Up

"Whatever it takes is something that happens to somebody else."
--Jake Lo

As Americans increasingly question the logic of a distant war--an in particular the associated sanctions--that are jacking domestic cost of living higher, the administration is telling the citizenry to 'suck it up.'

When asked how long US drivers should be expected to pay a 'war premium' for gasoline, the president responded, "As long as it takes."

Hard to imagine replies like this will play well at the ballot box.
