Good questions. Did you get banned from whiskeyfire as I did yesterday when I asked some very polite questions about the story?
My hunch is that the Frosts are “artists” and their finances are subsidized by the children’s grandparents. Thats just my hunch but the reporters ought to ask the obvious questions to nail down why these folks are content with such a low income when they could make more. Is the $45k/yr even from work or is it from investments? I’d like to have a reporter look at the tax returns and say whats earned and whats investment income.
There is no reason to think that the children would not have had medical care for injuries resulting from the car accident without SCHIP, is there?
No, I didn’t get banned from whiskeyfire. I guess I just didn’t try hard enough. :)
I did get the usual emotional responses, though. They called me names and what-not. You know, the usual liberal responses to a well thought-out observation.
I presented facts and options to help the Frosts help themselves. The whiskeyfire crowd responded by name calling and asking for the tax-payers to save the Frosts. What’s so crazy about selling a large house, buying a smaller one, and using the difference to pay bills? I suggest that and I’m labeled as “heartless”.
