I have been listening to alot of political and non-political information-feeding in from various news sources and I am astonished.
I hear people who are /have been participating in Occupy Wall Street and have to shake my head in total disbelief.
They want-want-want----and they expect a wealthy faction to give-give-give.......and I have a give-GET A FRIGGIN CLUE.
No one is going to fund you---beyond your time in the park.
The government doesn't have enough money to pay their own bills----without putting our country in total debt.
We are so far behind....we will not be caught up anytime-YEARS-soon--without a total change in our current government spending habits.
Occcupy Wall Street is simply adding to local government spending.
Whichever park they are sleeping-out in.
I understand the premise--it isn't working.
I worked for 5 years in a local government job-and it was primarily dealing with Welfare cases-brought to court for Child Support issues.
You have there:
People having their abode-food-medical-----being paid for by the government.
And guess what?
They hated it. Once it happened-it was very difficult to get out from under the government paying your bills..to be able to manage on your own.
Child care costs alone prohibits it. They could not afford it..to be able to go to school-to get a job.
To do anything.
This is what Socialism looks like. Welfare. The government tells you what to do-hands out what you get.....and prevents you from advancing.
And that 1%-they are not gonna stick around and pay you anything. Get real. You are smarter than that. Aren't you???????
Reminds me of a friend who has 3 children and who missed the yearly income level for medicaid for the kids by a whopping $76!
ReplyDeleteNow there is NO WAY she could afford health insurance on $76 yet instead of reducing her benefit on a graduated scale the county just said "see ya!"
Ridiculous!
Health Insurance is a total luxury that most people cannot afford. And the companies where people who do have jobs-have reduced those benefits to ziltch or soon will. Add that we are so debt ridden in this country..with the realization that public money soon also will run out....and there you have the nighmare ahead... without serious change and fiscal responsibility. Chele.
