Fantastic things, believe it or not. Being low income, my son has medical care and so do I, paying on a sliding scale. My son had his teeth straightened, I get high blood pressure medicine, my son had his ankle operated on and fixed when he broke it. All was very reasonable or no cost at all. He also had counseling when he needed it. This will end for both of us when he turns 18 though.

He is 1/4 Native American so the Indian Nation sent my son a visa gift card for $200. for school clothes. It arrived just in time for summer, and we got him all new summer clothes, shoes, etc. I can't complain.

Pay for my college education. I am really thankful for that, college tuition can be very expensive.

there has to be something ..because by any mode of transportation, across water land and by air,individuals from other countries flock her to take advantage of the "land of opportunity" ..I don't see it maybe it's a simple case of "cannot see the forest for the trees"

Ohh... come on now Fireliter,

Our government keeps us safe...

by fining us for driving with out seatbelts.


They got so concerned about our well being this summer
they have been setting up enforcement zones.


Our government does this because it LOVES us...

it has nothing to due with generating revenue

in a state that sucks worse at keeping jobs

than my drunk uncle.

Ain't those "enforcement zones" a Hoot laugh

they post sign's warning you seatbelt enforcement zones ahead...

then people like ignore the warning, then tie up the courts fighting the ticketrolling on the floor laughing


dead on right about the job market in this state Ocee.
reason I'm in school again.

I heard our government is charging those Americans Citizens for rides out of Lebanon, course it should be said these American citizens are civilians and actually pay no taxes in America. I heard theres gonna be a class action lawsuit over this too.

theres an interesting thought those rich movie stars who reside outside America who pay little if no taxes from their "jobs" they have from working in America.


Nwnstar-- just a heads up they have a bill in committee to reduce the coverage under the SSI umbrella, for children who are
being cared for by their own parents in their home, reduced medical allotments and funds for medical care are also included in this bill.
