[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1891918, member: 5412"] OK, I'll finally say. My first post on the first page was that the question should be if the USA is better than it was 4 days ago. JB reminded me that it wasn't the question. When you get to 55 yrs old, you get an annual report from the SS administration listing your previous years salary's. I can honestly say, that since LBJ was President, I've only lost income in the first year I went to the Military. Through Nixon, Carter, Regan, Bush's, and Clinton, its been nothing but uphill. Was it the administration in power at the time that made this happen? No it wasn't. It was making personal decisions to go where the money was. If your a truck driver, or a dentist, and your job goes away, and you go on unemployment, wring your hands about no jobs in your profession, then you get what you deserve. For the last 20 years or so, if I'm not wrong, you can get free training into another field if you loose your job. This can be done while on unemployment and its free! Every company I've worked for in the last 30 years has offered a college/vo-tech incentive to go back to school while employed and they pay the tuition. I have a stack of certificates from Vo-techs as well as transcripts from a junior college. A person has to give up a couple of nights a week for a few years, etc to do this. I could care less what I have to do for a living, as long as I make a living for my family. [/QUOTE]
