So, the housing industry is suffering, construction is nearly at a standstill, people are not spending their money remodeling right now. Jobs in construction are nonexsistant at the moment and have been for several months. One income is not cutting it. Should I feel guilty because you don't think I should get Food Stamps, or should I wait until I'm on the street and I don't have a vehicle and then you'll feel better about it?

Another thing, How about schools teaching our children how the government works in a way that they can understand and how about teaching them how money works, so they can balance a checkbook or understand compound interest and why its important. Then when it's their turn, they'll make better decisions than we did.

We are endowed by our creator with inalienable rights! We have the right to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness. We the people. This is a Republic not a Kingdom. How can we get the message out to people who only listen to or watch "mainstream media". They are blissfully ignorant of how the government is stealing their liberties and rights away from them. Is there any way we can influence the media, possibly letters, e-mails to tell the truth, give the news, not influence and make the news. We are wise to their slobbering love affair!
