Why our country is screwed
http://www.usdebtclock.org/
Get ready for the Second Great Depression. Is it just me or a majority of Americans just do not care anymore or have we forgot that We The People truly have the final say in this matter?

Re: Why our country is screwed
I want free money! Actually I lost my job Wednesday, went straight to the unemployment office, filed, and got approved. I figured I am just getting some back for all the money I have been putting in for over 10 years. It's not like I won't look for another job, in fact I had been actively looking for a new job for almost a year (sucks up here in Michigan,) and I will continue to actively look. I want to be off this government assistance fast. I hate being a number...

Re: Why our country is screwed
My mom owns and runs a day care center. About half of the families she has are on state assisted funding and they all live very nicely and are able to afford nice newer cars. Its pretty ridiculous...
And by state assisted funding, I mean the moms spend about $50 a month on day care and the state picks up the other $600 |

They have free health insurance, too. I haven't been to see a doctor in 10 years. Two winters ago I was very very sick, and thought about going to see a doctor. After i found out how much it was going to cost, i decided not to go. I'm glad I didn't. I feel fine now. Mike

Re: Why our country is screwed
All you folks who think people living on state assistance have got it made, why don't you quit your jobs and hop on the gravy train?

After I was out of the service I was dumped at the front gate and told to have a nice life. I struggled finding a job where I was, and ended up working as a lathe operator for $9/hr, 14 hour days in a 100F factory with fiberglass particals everywhere from what I was doing. We made fiberglass pipes. I lost my job there due to a car problem and couldn't make it to work for 2 days. I went to the unemployment office and was denied for reasons they would not specify. A disabled vet with a wife and 2 kids to support, and I couldn't get any help to speak of. Not from the military, not from the state, not from the feds. They turned their back on me when I couldn't find a job and was on rough times, now that I have a job and am doing well, they're right back cramming their hands into my pockets to remove as much money as possible. So much is wrong with this country, and I would love to move from it, but having kids and an ex-wife I am tied to where I am, for now at least. At some point it would be great, but not now.

I don't want to be on assistance, but you gotta do what you gotta do to bring in any money you can. At least I'm not one of the mooches though that site on the nice new leather couch watching the nice new big screen lcd tv, I'm actually out looking hard, about 6 hours in person and 2 hours online a day, not including driving to other towns. |

Re: Why our country is screwed
Characteristics way too many of us lack, unfortunately. And if this country is truly "screwed," maybe that's why.

The point is, the government should not be rewarding people to sit on their ass and collect checks, some even living better than those who go out and work their fingers to the bone. It's absurd, and as the topic suggests, why our country is screwed.
