I think the state of this economy is garbage, it's simply a reflection of the way our government who thinks they know so much can't do a damn thing. They are literally running this country into the ground. It makes me sick. Obama, I actually thought he would fight to make changes but everything he has done has made everything worse, I am so horribly disappointed in him and the fact that he is not what he promised to be. In a country where material things seem tobe the most important thing to so may why can I not offer services to find a way to earn monay for a car? This whole thing just makes me sick. I haven't seen my children in almost a year because of the state of the economy although I have incredibly valuable services to offer in trade or to earn money no one can afford to do anything because the economy is essentially in forclosure. Now what "BIG BROTHER"? Now what? We are on the verge of becoming LESS than a 3rd world country SO I ASK NOW WHAT "BIG BROTHER" NOW WHAT????????
I which I still didn't say that I think that disabled isn't always mean unable it one part of your body cease to function correctly then the others overcompensates for the lack of. I am trying to regain my life and my work ethic to not be a dependent. But to get a small business going is almost totally impossible as things are now. What can be done to ease the burdens faced by adversity dealt to those that weren't looking for it.
in response to JayJayJanofsky...I know there are millions of us out there who have some form of disability. And we have no control over how or when it will strike us. But I glad that I don't appear to be disabled b/c of the stares and laughter from the normal working class...who are the one's making is hard to survive and continue in life with the facts being that we can't do what we used too.I really hate it when I can't looked down on b/c of what I can't do and not for what I can do.
I am looking to get involved in something like this in my area. Do you know if there is there anything available like this in Florida? Specifically eastern Florida in Volusia county?
in response to George Gibbs...You can get the free phone if you are disabled, but you must qualify for medicaid to receive it. Obviously the circumstance you are talking about the person disabled receives too much money to qualify for food stamps or medicaid. The upper range is about $1200 per month for disability income and qualify for medicaid.
in response to sadia...Do you have a church or any of the plllaces that I mentioned before around you.I can't guide you any further because I do not live there.You are my eyes, legs , mouth, and thoughts from behing this keyboard to get you the help yoou are looking for. If youhave one , some of those places around you we may be in luck, if not it doesn't look so good.

in response to sadia...I'm flattered by what you want to name it but name it something more appropriate.
Do you have a curch, United Way office, Salvation Army, Catholic Cahrities or any non-profit organization around your area that may help you write a grant? I don't hve much money myself but I might be able to help you get it. Thank you again for such nice word. Good Luck and God Bless

My name is Melissa Tew and I have a family and i got disability a year ago. I have 3 kids an I am barely making it now but I am looking for a loan or Grant or some help to buy a house or get a house I really need to right now my landlord is saying he is going to sell the house or just bulldozer it down but i have no were to go. My mom just got sentenced to 10 years in prison so i cant go to her. I need some help reaally bad
You can get this, but if you are diasbled and get disability you can not because Medicare is not listed. Why is Medicaid listed and all the other programs?
well i am 36 years old and Ive had knee surgery when i was a kid. My knee was injured again while at work recently and I thought it would be covered under workers compensation. I have recently learned there tactics are to discredit injured persons and take long leisurely debates on coverage. The doctors had a surgery planed for next week but guess what. NOT HAPPENING until someone that's not a doctor can make the choice for me and my work wife and three children will be unemployed with a lame dad at home until God or some other miracle gets me covered. Good luck too you all and my prayers are with you.
This is how Paul Ryan, Tea Party-backed GOP budget plan author describes their proposal.
Tuesday, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (WI-01) announced the Republican’s budget proposal. It is unbelievably bad - literally. The GOP budget not only repeals the new health care law, it also eliminates Medicare and Medicaid as we know it.
The Republican’s proposal gives millionaires huge tax breaks, but seniors and hard-working families pay more for health care and get less coverage. Paul Ryan’s plan would radically undermine the economic security of America’s middle class. Yet it helps Wall Street-run health insurance companies make record-breaking profits! While the CEOs are paid outrageous sums to deny people the care they paid for and need.
As part of this radical ideological crusade, seniors will be force to clip coupons if they want to see a doctor. It includes huge tax breaks for the ultra wealthy and giveaways to Big Oil companies that are making record profits.
Nowhere in the Republican plan is there any shared sacrifice. There’s no fairness. The big corporations and super-rich are not asked to pitch in. Instead they get even richer while most families are struggling just to make it month to month. This budget would eviscerated programs that everyone in this country depend on. Republicans are attacking the people while pretending to be fiscally responsible!
This budget changes the rules and reshapes this country in a dangerous way. The Republicans and Tea Party backers think they can use the budget as cover to pursue their radical agenda to end Medicare and put seniors’ health care in the hands of Big Insurance CEOs.
But they aren't done with their outrageous demands. They want to do even more to hurt the people!
In this case women specificly - Thursday, April 7, thousands of Americans will descend on Washington, DC, to defend women's health from the extremists in Congress that are determined to roll back access to reproductive health care.
This assault is unprecedented and covers multiple areas. Several amendments have been added to what was already voted on weeks ago in an attempt to push these changes through the Senate. An ammendment that would eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood offers cancer screenings to protect women's health. They offer education, contraceptives and seek to prevent unplanned, unwanted pregnancies. They help those that have been victims or are in hard situations by getting them professional help. Cutting these programs will put more women at risk.
But not one has mentioned how much it costs to raise a child that is placed into the system. No one talks about the many children that wait sometimes without hope for a family to adopt them. Why defund a program that keeps many unplanned pregnancies from happening?
They want to pass legislation that would impose an abortion tax on small businesses who want to provide abortion coverage in health plans. They have bills that would prevent elected officials from using local funds to pay for abortion care for low income and at risk women. This attack on women's rights must stop! Across the nation, people will be standing up for women's health.
Hidden in the budget is more cuts on funding to the Enviromental Protection Agency. This is our one defense against more BP disasters. It's the agency that protects the people by enforcing safety regulations. Protects the environment, the people and our ecology from the "profits before people" greed of these big Corporations. In Pensylvania the water resources are being contaminated due to the coal companies fracking to get at gas reserves. This is causing water to become flamable and not fit to drink. This practice needs to stop!
Already the big Oil Corps are pushing to drill for oil again. Why? With the technology we have right now - technology we've had since 2006 - we could have been using hydrogen for power. We've had the technology to use solar power, wind power and water power! Yet the greed and profit of "black gold" pushes the Corporations - Deep Water drilling has already been given the green light. The guy in charge of the energy commission in D.C. is an Oil Company shareholder. We need the EPA has the funds to function!
Congress MUST hear our voices and know that enough is enough!
Democrats have already ruled out defunding the year-old health care overhaul or to deny Planned Parenthood all federal money. And Reid has said he will not agree to any of the curbs Republicans want to place on the Environmental Protection Agency. Democrats will not just roll over without a fight.
In D.C. this week, hundreds of Tea Party demonstrators rallied outside the Capitol calling for budget cuts and to shutdown if necessary to get their way.
"Shut the sucker down," one yelled, and the crowd repeatedly chanted, "Shut it down."
Is this the America we want to live in? We need to stand up to the bullies on the Hill and take back our rights and our freedoms!
in response to lovethyneighbor...Good to see you back here. I have a leg ulcer and have to go to dr again today so I am going to eat cereal and go back to bed as it is cold here.
Stay in touch. Love to have the tan~and be at the beach.

hey. checked several FREE phone deals myself. HAHAHA. try a free waiting list, or several hours on someone elses phone to find out finally, YOU dont qualify. or, its still going to cost you money you dont have. yes. what a rat race. ive heard of free service[limited] for welfare recipients. thou im not that far in yet. started my journey in may of 2010. still not there. i also need a phone. missing important calls and contacting people is slowing the slow. learning about E-mailing, thou slowly[tbi], cant remember.
Lack of knowledge is killing my brethren.
I see them on the streets everyday;
I want so desperately to show them The Way.
I yell, I scream, I get up in their face,
But they can't see me, they can't feel me,
They won't let me penetrate their space.
This bubble we live in will surely carry us off to a far away place,
Where there is no light.
We have the Power to leave this place,
Free your mind and find your space
It is vast and not contained don't waste your time being vain.
Turn yourself inside out and find out what your life is about.
You'll be surprised at what you might find
Lurking within the depths of your mind,
Knowledge is key to everything in the universe we see.
Everything is not as it seems.
We are all caught up in a great big scene
Trying to collect that almighty Green.
Waiting for a savior to do us a Favor,
Rapture, Redemption, Religion
How does it all fit in or is it just a prison?
What do you know about it?
You're just its Victim!
Why am I not surprised that Walmart is your employer? My first question is - did this happen at work? If that is the case, then this would be covered under workers compensation - NOT your own health insurance.For your own private health insurance to cover a comp injury would be fraud. Your employer knows this and they would be held liable.
in response to whoknew...i have tear in my shoulder right around collar bone it causes constant pain also arthritus in same area.im told i need surgery to correct the problem.i have a 1700 insurance deductable before they will pay anything.i dont have 1700 dollars any suggestions.

------------------------------------
Dear elected officials,
Hi my name is Paula Coleman and I live in Boise, ID. I recently sent a letter to Mike Crapo, but figured I'd let my voice be heard by many more. I am frustrated with the lack of support for people like me who are trying to better their life, are genuinely good people, and who just want a fair chance at life. I have raised my son on my own for the last ten years. It has been difficult and I need help financially and some reassurance we're safe. Luckily my son is happy and healthy, but my health is slipping away because I'm financially and mentally drained almost. I have made bad choices in my past, but am proud to say I have over a year of sobriety from that evil chemical alcohol, and I have a good program. I am very proud of myself and feel I've learned valuable lessons, I won't make the same mistakes again and I'm going to Heaven. I just want my voice to be heard because my family deserves to feel safe and happy here in Idaho. I have been raped numerous times, I suffer from PTSD and panic disorder with agoraphobia, so you can imagine the fear and flashbacks I endure on a daily basis. I have also contacted disability, obtained legal council, and even went a domestic violence shelter, but I just get told to go home and lock my door, or that I'm crazy and need meds, or that I'm making stories up, (by certain individuals). I am not a liar and I demand respect and sensitivity. Do you know what it's like to fear your life everyday and constantly isolate yourself because you feel like no one cares? Well I do, and I have decided to let my voice be heard. I believe in God, am a member of a Christian church, involved in Celebrate Recovery, I attend self help groups, and I would like to be treated like a decent human being. I believe there has to be someone who cares or who will listed before it's too late. Either way, I just want to feel safe here in Idaho or I'm moving very soon. Maybe the president will listen to my story and be willing to offer his advice? Please let me know if there is any organizations willing to help keep my son and I safe, or if you even care. I love Idaho's beauty and would like to live here, but it's not worth my life.
in response to Mimi 2...Wow, that is interesting. You are the first person I heard using it or tried to use it. I will have to check with my out of state friends as it is not offered in my state California yet. I would not like to be put on hold for hours and especially when you need it.
okay so the government is giving free cell phones n minutes to the needy, but what good r they if u can't get ur monthly minutes. That's what safelink is all about, so if ur into being put on hold for hours, not getting the phone at all or just like to be given the run around then go for safelink. Me I'm tired of tring to get the minutes for my family menbers that r in need. Safelink stinks.
Still not a job in site....what was I thinking in 2005, when I graduated with my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice, then had a brain storm about continueing my education by pursueing to go on with my bachlors degree, then found out I had to get 12 credits more to graduate. I went on to a community college, studied Intro to Law, and a spanish class. I came down with kidney infection the last two weeks of class, which were my finals and had to withdraw. Still have to pay for the classes. How I do not know cause I can not find a job. Taking donatiions to help me pay off my education. The goverment loves to see us in debt with them. Don't you agree?
in response to sandra35...SCHMIDTY'S, I JUST WANTED TO ADD, THE REASON I WAS CHATTING ABOUT OTHER THINGS IS BECAUSE YOU APPEAR TO BE A VERY INTERESTING PERSON WITH SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE. I FOUND YOUR MESSAGES WERE QUITE ENJOYABLE. BUT I DO NOT WANT TO BE IRRITATING. I LIKE THE WAY YOU SPEAK OUT ON HOW YOU FEEL. WE ALL NEED TO PRACTICE THAT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME! SANDRA35
in response to Schmidty...Go get warm under your electric blanket and have good dreams
Good it is warming up for you.
Yeah..
Have a good night

I was born and raised in Kansas. I can remember when the leaves fell in September and at least one light dusting of snow in October, one or two heavy fogs, which made for an interesting trip to school.Yeah, I can remember one or two trips to school when the snow was up to my knees. Playing on the play ground, dodge ball, tag, and a thing called Zellball.I don't know if that was what it was called all over or not. A tennisball was at the end of a tethered rope connected to the top of a pole and you used two ping-pong ball paddles to see who got the ball wound up first to win.They did away with them shortly after having them out, I think two maybe three years. To many accidents, I know, I was one of them.
We are suppose to get flurries tonight, possibly. Not looking forward to it.
Yeah, I don't understand it , either.The schools must have had the rules of every child had to be in school all day to get their school credit and money from the state. Now, it seems, all the kid has to do is get in a blocks' distance of the school and they count them.
I'm glad to hear that they are thinking about the kids being in school all year long.I think it's cruel that 12 years you get three months off in the summer and then when you get out of schoolyou have to work everyday day by day week after week month after month with few days off and time off for vacation time.Just isn't right. Get them use to it now and they will get use to it.
Well, got to go. I've got some tings to do. Hope you have a good day. Later
in response to Starshine...Yeah, I'm a night person. Running around at night and being on second shift most of my life has helped reinforced it also. It is a bit chilly but is suppose to warm up a little tomorrow. I don't mind the snow, I don't mind the ice(to look at), but I do not like the cold except climbing into bed with an electric blanket and it is toasty. I'll try to have sweet dreams but I have trouble with that 99.99% are just plain weird.Have a great night. See ya
in response to Schmidty...I am kind of spunky as the night time is my time. Love staying up late usually no more than 11.
How are you?
See you and stay safe and warm..
Sweet Dreams
in response to Starshine...Well that is true we do tend to chat here and there, mostly there. Glad to hear you are doing well. Kind of spunky , too , aren't you.Have a good and restful night. See Ya.
in response to Schmidty...Hi there buddy Schmidty
Yes I have helped people and took a nap going to bed by 12 and see if I can't get 8 hours of sleep.
I am doing fine. How are you? We need to help people and chat with them too. Some come here to chat and offer encouragement, words of kindness and to say hi to friends made here.
This is our chat space where ever we make it
Have a great night and I read your posts too today.
Starshine
in response to Starshine...sI've been around. Been reading your post. You 've been helping a lot of people. That's always good.I'm doing as well as I can expect.
Instead of taking a nap , why not get some real sleep? If I could send you a pillow to lay upon, I would. Better yet, find your happy place and enjoy before you fall asleep.
How are you doing? And as I have suggested to Sandra35 why don't we move thisi'll start a new blog 'Just chattin" and we can talk there OK.
in response to sandra35...I try to enjoy every day, I just hope you enjoy your day as much as I do mine. This doesn't seem like the right place to just chat. How about we do this elsewhere. Eitherin how are you today or as a private conversation.This conversation has gotten away from the stimulus plan by a long ways.
in response to sandra35...Hey sandra35 missed the news from my Uncle, how cold is it there and do you have snow yet? Sun is out here but not for long. Take care hugs
Starshine
in response to Schmidty...SCHMIDTY's, HOPE YOUR DAY IS GOING WELL? I'V BEEN BUSY ALL DAY AND TRYING TO STAY WARM. THANKS FOR YOUR MESSAGES. IT'S SO NICE CHATTING WITH YOU. TAKE CARE AND ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR DAY. SANDRA35
