kellydenise: i just pulled two off the top of my head. actually, i am STILL paying MY student loans off. i STILL carry insurance on my youngest kid--she is in her last year of college now (as well as working my butt off to help her pay the tuition and room and board). I truely know where you are coming from. I don't even have parents that i can borrow money from.

Looking at it from a local perspective, I have no problem helping those who really deserve help, but I totally resent the Federal government telling everyone else who is deserving and who isn't. I think each of us in cooperation with our own local governments are much more able to determine that than Federal, or even state government.

Truth be known...churches and food pantries hand out thousands and thousands of lbs of food and supplies weekly around here.

i understand what you are saying. but local government is dependent of federal funds (i am not sure why--state, local, real estate taxes school taxes--i pay out of each paycheck).

kellydenise: alcoholism qualifies.


Only if they are in rehab for it now...thankfully, this is something that has changed for the good a bit. At least, officially that's the guideline on it now.

That's where things get screwed up. Feds tie requirements into funding. But in actually, the funds should never get to the federal level. Most issues should be state and local.

Local government can work and partner with local churches, food pantries and civic groups to accomplish this. The problem is that states and the federal government have moved in on all of the local providers and over time have taken away their autonomy and even their ability to function.

At what time in written history has there ever been a non class system? It didn't happen in communist Russia or China, it has not happened in any socialist countries, where has it been successful and what would you do to creat a not class system that will work?
