The backward nature of this country.

Where does that leave them? Hard working, ordinary, everyday Americans? It is a hard row to hoe, but the only solution is to improve one's job skills and get a better job. No politician can help. People in the position financially which you describe are probably considering voting for Obama. He has implied that he can fix these problems. If you believe Obama, vote for him. That said, I think Barrack Hussein Obama is a very deceitful, yet charming, person who lies very well. Obama can not fix the finacial problems bedeviling ordinary hard working Americans. Neither can John (Grandpa Simpson) McCain. Obama's programs to assist the downtrodden will super ballon the deficit while further destroying the value of the US DOLLAR in world markets. Ultimately this will make the problems for ordinary hard working American much worse than they are currently. Barrack Hussein Obama can not help, but he can hurt the situation, a lot! John (Grandpa Simpson) McCain can not help, but he can hurt the situation, a lot! As said earlier. It is a hard row to hoe, but the only solution is to improve one's job skills and get a better job. No politician can help.

I totally agree with you. You could work 2 jobs to take care of your family and not have health coverage. Yet someone who doesn't even get up and try or who is illegally in the country can get better health care than you. And to make matters worse, there are people who are well to do who look down on you. Okay...that's the end of my rant. Peace be with you all.

HI! Very well put. In Europe it is the same way. They said with the Euro everything was going to be better than ever. Well it is worse than ever! We have people from other European countries taking away our jobs. (problem is, I don't blame these people, if I were them I would do it too.) Problem is the people that role our countries! They should make sure no one gets paid less. But why should they be concerned? They have there vacation house in Spain, a boot so big it is there 3rd house. Don't need to work many hours, 3 times in the year they go on vacation with the whole family... Why should they care, if the rest of there country is starving and having financial problems,that is not there problem. Rather give the money to other countries before giving it to there own people. This way other countries will think good about them. Oh that country is so good, feeding everyone, "too bad there own people have to eat out of trash cans and cannot pay there bill's." These other European people work for less money, so we also get less money when we can finally find a job. The income is less and the food ect is more expensive. You see more and more people living in the street, eating out of garbage. Germany and Holland have never had so many people with financial problems. Take care,Margajoe.

this issue being put forward by you are very crucial. i think we all should think about the same and this community will provide you with the platform to create awareness regarding the same. so lets think deeply about the issue and leave something for ourselves to live on a better life. i also feel the same that i am left with nothing by the end of the day. but thinking about people as a whole shakes my mind.

They told us that we make too much money and we are not eligible for cash help, all we receive is medical and that is a big if as they are now going to cancel that out! My fiance is the only one working and we are a family of 5. He only makes $1280 a month and we do have a mortgage and bills to consider and those are after we know the kids can have a decent meal and clothes that fit. Believe me we do a lot of thrift and discount shopping. Our average bills are more than what he makes and if I were to go back to work, daycare would eat up all of our wages! I totally understand what you are saying as my family is one that is at the bottom due to the state not giving a sh#* about those of us who are trying.
