I was thinking over the weekend, what was important to me about the upcoming election. It was easy to come up with, the economy and health care. I have a best friend who is a single working mother with 3 children. She makes about 15hr, pays about $1100 for rent, and she pays all other bills. She was assisted by the govenment with food stamps and medicare. She is the only adult in the household, and they are now cutting her food stamps and medicare because they say she makes to much money. I dont understand, how did they come up with that. How after she pays all of her bills can they say she makes to much money. After bills, she dosent have enought to buy food, or even pay for health care. These are the things that middle class familys talk about at the kitchen table. She is not a single mother by choice, her kids father passed away and was very helpful when he was alive. How do they expect her and her children to survive without help. Not only are they trying to cute her assistance, she has been on the waiting list for section 8 for about 6yrs. Lets not forget, unemployment may have to denie peoples benifits, walfare may have to termenate benifits, but the CEO's of these failing companies are getting huge exit packages. Something is not right!
