“The one that got me was the one where she knows she needs to see a doctor, and can’t afford it. That’s horrible.”
That’s also horsepucky! There is Medicaid, free clinics and even the emergency rooms that the illegals use frequently. I think that entire post is made up crapola and you bought right into it!

“Err for the grace of G-d go I...”
Err, so much BS; you’re smarter than that. Just my intuition that you know how to plan for the future so as NOT to be such an abject loser...

AMEN Dude (or Dudette), whichever it is!!

“I actually feel sorry for this woman. Her rant has a ring of honesty. She’s in a horrible place and she doesn’t have the tools to get out. No matter that her activism/votes increased her misery. She doesn’t get it. She wants a job.
I hope she gets one; and the understand about basic economics that she needs.”
It also has a ring of made-up crapola too!

A friend of mine is fond of saying that "life is about choices and consequences... The better your choices, the better your consequences."
Liberal minded people have torn at the original fabric of our society till they created the unintended but now common result of the single mom family. Who would have ever thought that there might be consequences to their "free love" advocacy?
I only wish these morons weren’t bringing the rest of us down with them.
Welcome to Trickle Up Economics and the Fundamental Transformation of America.
Enjoy, jackwagon.
I don’t think so. I know people who live like that. There are lots of procedures people need, and that are not available at free clinics.
She obviously is managing to get by, but not buy anything but total essentials. That wears on a person after a while. I know many people living like that. In fact, most of the people I know down here in FL are living like that.
People are struggling - the whole construction industry has just shut down here and it was a major employer in my county. The old retired folks down here are taking in their entire families.
Like I said in my previous post, the person I spoke to yesterday couldn’t afford to go out and buy her medicine. She 1) has no car and 2) has no money and 3) is too ill to walk far. I know her well. She’s not dramatizing.
You don’t know poverty until a friend drops by your house at 8 in the am and asks if you have $3 or $4 so they can put a gallon of gas in their car to get to work.
The real problem is, she thinks the answer is more money into programs so she CAN get the type of care people have to pay for. The answer is to stop voting against prosperity.
A lot of people on that thread are hurting from unemployment or fears of unemployment. Some are still trying to blame Bush, but real soon now that will wear thin. By 2012, it will be hard to deny that Obama owns the state of the economy.
Good to see the junior high school brigade has shown up. No, I've been poor, FRiend, really poor, and I've also had to choose between some pretty basic items to try to get by to a paycheck that wasn't even on the horizon. Maybe in your comfortable little world that sort of thing only happens to bad people. In the real one it happens to a lot of us.
Now go smirk at somebody else. The adults are going to have to try to solve this thing and we'll let you know when it's safe to play outside.
“It also has a ring of made-up crapola too!”
True, you never know on the internets.

Your assumptions are amusing. For most of my childhood, my family had no electricity or running water and used a kerosene cook stove, but we worked our butts off and grew most of our own food and raised chickens to eat. Our “car” was a wornout ‘37 Ford pickup. I started working at age 10 fot $1/hr just like the adult field hands and kept up my schooling too, no welfare, no handouts (other than hand-me-down clothes). So I’ve experienced both sides of the so-called poverty spectrum, and there is no excuse that hard work and planning for the future won’t fix in this country!

That is your (temporal) hope.
Cheers!
Really? Well, then it strikes me that you're easily amused. Frankly I don't believe a single word of the aching bathos you just posted, and for exactly the same reasons you don't believe the lady in the article. Have a good evening.
Yes, I did indeed have a good evening, because I surpassed that “aching bathos” you characterized as my childhood. Unlike you, I wouldn’t change a thing - it was character-building and enabled me to overcome later challenges in life without whining about it!
