Regardless where my money comes from, it's a job that's required to have health insurance and it be somewhat affordable.

I come from a long line of southern yellow dog democrats and was the first to break from that tradition after the Jimmy Carter debacle. Most here are too young to remember that era, but that was the time of the first gas lines and double digit inflation and the same double digit unemployment and interest rates. We are once again heading in that same direction with the same ideology that almost brought our country to its knees back then. You cannot tax a city, county, state nor this country in to prosperity!

I was very young during that era and don't remember much of it well, but I do remember my parents grief over the happenings and waiting in line for fuel w/Mom for hours for 10gls. No fill ups were allowed.

Yea those times were tough. I was a young man just starting out on my own, but with the skills my father taught me and the faith my mother instilled in me I was able to make it trough those tough times. Those very things that pulled me trough then, I believe to be what is missing today!

I apologize for coming across as harsh. It is a serious question though.

I've been in this hobby for 24 years--and loved every minute of it. Due to the times, however, I'm about to be selling all my stuff so I can pay for the basics like my healthcare. If you know something I don't as far as being able to stay in this hobby while broke, I'd love to hear it.

The question did sound a little like you were calling me out, And yes a was a bit defensive. I apologize as well.

I have no advice to give, everyones situation is different. My wife and I have no debt so we pretty much get by on her Paycheck and my earnings from Ebay. Once I'm able, I look forward to working FT again and hopefully get Insurance myself.
I sincerely wish and hope your situation gets better soon and you get the help you need.

Wow, I did not expect such a response about this.

"This is a big f*****g deal" Yup, the arrogance of these tyrants in the White House is sickening.

I think we are in for some interesting times in 2010, whether good or bad, violent or otherwise. I can't see the American people taking it up the @$$ for much longer from these criminals, somethings gotta give.

I try hard to come here and talk about RC, but there are things I can't resist, this is one. I can not tell you how thrilled I am to see everyone talking about this in such a manor and that so many see what is really happening. This is the best thing I have seen all week.

Just to add my 2 cents.

I won't talk CBO numbers.

I won't get into the administrations math.

Don't need to talk to the power grab that is occurring.

And never mind about the Constitutionality of all of this.

And how has this worked out else where in the world, most countries are going broke. Too many promises and not enough revenue to meet them.

Never mind what they missed, like opening up commerce state to state, and some tort reform and better pricing rules with medical providers.

I just wish people would think about it in terms of services already received by the government:

Do you like going to the Post Office? (This is an indictment of the system as a whole and a few employees and not all of the individuals that do the work. I have friends that work there and they bust hump.)

Do you like dealing with/ is it easy to get things straight with the IRS/medicare/social security - disability? As an accountant by trade I have seen people do nothing wrong and spend years getting the IRS straight on there filings! <---no exaggeration. Had a client went from a contract employee with a company to a regular employee with the same company and the IRS could not figure out why he did not owe self employment taxes. After 2 years plus and them threatening to seize his assets he had to hire a tax attorney. At his cost of coarse.

Is it fun and trip to look forward to, to go to the DMV? (and yes I am taking aim at all of the DMV I hate that freakin place, it is the black hole of time.)

Would you like to rely on the VA for your health care?

Do you think the public schools do a good job in your opinion? Where I live we spend about 15K per child, 110 million on 2 new high schools.....51% graduation rate. And many of them can't functionally do math, read or write. And with the budget short falls in our schools here, so far the only programs they are sure to get rid of are the programs for accelerated/gifted/college bound students! <-----can't punish success fast enough.

Other than our brave men and women in the military the government does nothing well to me.

And don't let the avatar fool you, I am just as feed up with Republicans as I am Democrats! Nothing but a bunch of liars and whores.

Government has its place, but not entangled in our lives like this!
