I wrote a whole entry and it made me cry so I just saved it in my documents for another time.
I'm going through a rough time lately.
This isn't good when you suffer from depression.
Nope, not good at all.
And to make it worse, I just can't mope on the couch all day and just be depressed. Oh no, I have to go out into the world and fake it. Not fake depression, I mean fake not being depressed. (you knew what I meant, right?)
Money is an issue right now. I have a job, a good job but the paycheck doesn't go as far as it used to. I am even spending less. I am blaming the president (or the government). I wasn't this broke four years ago. Think about it for a minute...and you democrats who think I am bashing him because he is a democrat, you are wrong. I would bash anyone who doesn't help my paycheck go as far as it used to.
Four years ago a can of Pringles was about 99 cents. Today they are almost 2 bucks.
I'll give you a second to digest that.....
Who can afford Pringles these days?
Ok, now how about gas?
Or how about toilet paper?
Try an orange.....
Get my drift?
It sucks.
You know I make $500 too much a month to qualify for any sort of assistance?
I have to creatively budget my money for 6 months for me to even get my hair done while people who don't work can afford to not only get their hair done but also their nails, toes and their upper lip waxed.
I am working and not getting anywhere. I almost want to quit my job and go back to Walmart so I make the minimum to qualify for state aid on shit.
Seriously.
Where are the programs to help single parents who are working to provide a good home, food and clothes for their kids?
It just pisses me off.
and upsets me....
a lot.
Economics is a complicated business. Both sides of the aisle really messed up everything by being beholden to Big $$$. Laws on the books to keep competition healthy were not enforced. Both sides are to blame, although it seems they try to sort of enforce it these days as a show. A meaningless show.
ReplyDeleteNo side will help your paycheck. Trust me the party of rich white guys will not help the poor. Sadly either will the other party.
Bigger problems are money spent on Defense. Corporations with their billions and probably trillions of Corporate Welfare they receive. Hiding from paying taxes in places like the Cayman Islands, which btw is why Romney doesn't show his taxes. He hides his money so as not to pay taxes to the Country he wants to run.
The Economy is a mess. Anger toward either side will not help you in any way. I would accept a bad economy. Hard times, and make your way as best you can.
People living off the State or whatever are not living high on the hog. Corporation Executives whose company benefit from Corporate Welfare do pretty dang good. Those should be your enemy. Oh, and the banksters too.
