The rate of invasion is too high for them to be absorbed no matter how industrious they are or try to be. They can't get work because they don't have any skills and there are 10 of them on every corner trying to get picked up each morning for every job that comes along. When they can't get work, they steal but they are in competition with the home grown scumbags then and that just causes gang wars. They have contacts back home in the drug growing regions so they try that and we get more gang wars but nobody cares and all this time, they just keep popping out babies at taxpayer expense and sending them to taxpayer funded schools. They bring resistant strains of tuberculosis and other diseases that were nearly eradicated from the USA so we have to fund health free health care or let it spread through our population and now, with the recession and Useless Davis, the government is bankrupt and overwhelmed by shear numbers of useless DemonicRats. It's a sharp, downward spiral to third world status and nothing is going to stop it. The best we can do is put a fence around them so the rest of us can commute past them in safety.

I was surprised to see that I am not much above the poverty limit for a family of four. Huh. I didn't know I was that poor, lol.

When my husband and I were both working, his entire check and some of mine went to fund daycare. We were broke and miserable, and dissatisfied with the idea of our young children being raised by someone else. What to do?

We decided on a radical idea: I had more skills and earning potential than he did. We decided he would quit his job and be a stay at home dad.

Our money situation improved! We were saving almost five hundred dollars a month! Our kids were much happier. My husband was happier, because he was no longer frustrated at working for nothing. I was happier because I began to see my family prosper. It worked out well for all of us.

I make about 28 thou a year--ten thou above the poverty level. Yet we buy our own groceries, pay our own rent, and pay our own medical coverage (which is outlandish!) We may not own our own home, but we don't live in a crappy area. We rent in a nice, quiet neighboorhood. My building is surrounded with a lawn and big oak trees.

We are not rich, by any means. I would say we are middle class. We won't be buying a brand new car or boat anytime soon, but so what? We don't need a brand new car or a boat. All we need is a few extra bucks for dinner and a movie, and we have that.

What I don't understand is why so many others that make about the same I do live in such worse conditions than I do. Anyone have any answers?
