It’s all going out. My rock-solid company is leaving throughout the course of next year. They found it wiser to be in Canada than Nashville. Thanks Obama.

“Its so bad that I am forced to use a tracfone and don’t even have an Ipad.”

Don’t even get me started on that.
Food Stamp Recipients get a FREE Cell Phone, and 250 Free minutes a month, paid for by my Phone Bill.

They can add unlimited texting for $5 a month, and Unlimited Data for $10.

The wife and I pay well over $100 a month for almost the exact same plan.

I’ve almost reached the point that I think being a PRODUCTIVE member of society means you must be an idiot.

Things are terrible. Don’t kid yourself. Anyone in a main street business in the real economy will tell you the truth.

We are on the brink of collapse.

You should check out PlatinumTel for prepaid wireless. Uses the Sprint network. 5c a minute and 2c a text with no monthly fee. I am an extremely satisfied customer.

The headline is ridiculous. Most of today's poor have stuff that even middle-class people didn't have 50 or 75 years ago. Not only was unemployment much higher in the 1930s than now, but the deprivations suffered by the poor were much worse.

In Grapes of Wrath the Joad kids when staying in a government camp flush a toilet without realizing what they are doing, and think they have broken it--they had never seen a flush toilet before.

Go back another 100 years and the lifestyle of the average person was much worse than that of an extremely poor person now.
