What amazes me is the government is not set up to help people who work for a living. My husband had to have ankle surgery and couldn't walk or drive for six weeks. He wanted to go back to work after two weeks, so I had to drive him, even though I work in the exact opposite direction and the schedules were not compatible.

Every day I saw a bus drive through our subdivision in Chester County, PA, "Chester County Paratransit". I called this agency and found out that it only serves people on medicaid or seniors 60 or older. So if you are a walking, driving, 60 year old millionaire, you can get a free ride, but if you are just a middle class working stiff paying the bill for this freebie, forget about it.

What amazes me is that people like you expect others (just where do you think the government gets their money?) to take care of them. So you had to drive him for six weeks. Or you could have tried to get a ride from a co-worker or a neighbor going the same direction. Big deal. It was temporary and solvable. Not something the government should have been involved in or paid for.

They won't give White Males a job either. They're reserved for minorities...but, they're using your money.
