You should pay that back. Watch the movie, "Cinderella Man" then get back to me. You had a rough patch. That is tough. I get it. When I was YOUNGER than you I had a wife, who was pregnant. I paid 100% of health insurance for her. I was out of work at the time. It is time for people to step...

Not only the Catholic Church.

This is only the tip of the iceberg of what is going on in the military and VA.

What happens when the state becomes the church, or worse, does away with them?

I am safe, hunkered down in my house.

There is a high wind warning for all of SE Michigan and they have hit. Sustained SW winds at 20-30 with gust over 50. Those winds will be cross winds on north-south running roads so be careful. It is HOWLING outside. At least it is warm now, it's 47.

It is great that we can discuss this stuff. I do have to say that the major shift to the "left" has really taken hold if you believe that much of what you speak of above is "middle". Since MOST of what you talk about are "unearned" benefits paid for by other than those who benefit from them...

It would be interesting to know what you consider "middle". (not picking on you) There is nothing "middle" about any social program, they, by there very nature, are all "left".

It is getting interesting as more comes out. The "gunman" was given "Ambien" for sleeping. The article did not mention if there were other meds involved, yet. "Ambien" has a rare but documented history of bizarre side affects. Use in conjunction with other anti-depressants can make it worse. Is...

That article did not break down the spending or it's sources. Is it possible that it is as a result of the consequences of high unearned entitlement spending that that there is a backlash against it? Some things don't make sense. ND and SD have the lowest unemployment numbers and unfilled...

"The "kind" of monies is "other people's money," that's what kind it is. It's Food Stamp-type straight-up welfare, and it's government spending on various social programs. It's also all federal government spending, in relation to how much those states pay the federal government in taxes. And...

The problems I am seeing is with those who have traumatic brain injuries and/or PTSD. The HEAVY use of psychotropic medications, often without proper monitoring, is, at best, irresponsible. I have also seen a few cases of severe infections due to improper fitting of prosthetics along with...

There are also good and bad consignees. One of our rare "home visits" was to deliver a very large screen TV to a private residence. The consignee paid for "curb delivery". When we arrived he proceeded to tell use where, in the house, he wanted the TV set up and wanted to know how long the set...

It is obvious that, as always, the government has little interest is solving the problem. Once they are done using people they are, for the most part, done with them. Once they are no longer serving they are nothing more than financial liabilities.

Why are those states getting back more? Is that the fault of state or federal policies? What "kind" of monies are they? The article does not mention whether or not that is "welfare" money, as in entitlement money, or "other" money. All it talks about, unless I missed something, is "raw" dollar...

"Just as you want the employer to honor the contract, so must the worker. Both sides should play by the rules." THAT would be a first.

Glad to see you are still with us and have not been scattered across the space/time continuum. Home is always a good move. Enjoy your time there .

There are 31 towns in the US named Bowling Green. Which ONE are you in, or have you been scattered in time,and/or space, by nasty, mean space aliens? :p

There is also a need to have much better screening of those who seek to enlist.

No, I live only about 10 miles from there.
