You know, there is nothing wrong with a lifeline when you need it. I had a nice, growing business for almost 10 years providing advertiwsing photography to the RV and Marine industry. Both of those industries crashed in the blink of an eye takng my business and many others with it. That crash cost me dearly and while Im not proud of th3e fact, unemployment for both the wife and I are all thats keeping us afloat. Health insurance is a big issue, its cost us 60o bucks a month for $2500 deductable insureance, insurance I MUST retain due to the fact my medical history will preclude me from ever getting another policy.

I’ve never needed nor ask for govermental help in my 56 years but things are nearly out of control.

So cut good, conservative people some slack....

That is exactly what the programs were created for. If that is what they were used for, I cannot think of one conservative who would say a word. If they would make it temporary, lifetime maximums, and disallow any children conceived AFTER benefits began to discourage lifetime appoinntments to welfare(workfare would be a better description) this country would not be in the mess it is in. I feel your pain, hubby out of work 3.5 months now, no unemployment, my job and Gods good grace keeping us going. No health insurance, but he is supposedly starting a job w/the fed govt next week. Did not yet get the call for the start date, either the 2nd or the 17th, hoping for the former. Good luck to you in this downturn. Hubby was out of work b/c we had to close hvac company we started 3 yrs ago.
