It’s NOT ABOUT THE MONEY!!!! It’s about taking away another choice. If the unions lose the right of collective bargaining, it will eviscerate one of the two choices they let you have come November. Don’t let them tell you it’s about the money. That’s a lie.
Where’s Obama? I thought he was going to look at these problems through the prism of being poor once himself. What a fool I am. Bet I’m not the only one.
I took a big step today. I pitched something to someone. And they are in a position to make that pitch into a reality if I can do the work.

Gilbert – Obama is really no different than other Presidents. Some are better than others but flowery rhetoric and good intentions rarely can change the mind of any individual.
Things won’t change for the better regarding the poor, ever. All you need to confirm this is study history. History, even clouded by the prism of being written by those in power, is clear that poor people will remain poor unless they can catch a break and play the same stupid games the rich play.
All we can do is try to catch that break and work hard. The alternative is to accept what comes from government that says one thing and frequently does a different thing entirely.
