		<description>I&#039;m a high school educated, tradesman hazed out of my trade here in Wichita. I tried to get rent assistance from the Red Cross,they told me unless I had a source of income they couldn&#039;t help....????. This is the type of compassion this state has for the down and out, grasping at straws, I went to this papers message board and asked for help (cyberbegging) all I got from the compassionate people of Wichita was &quot; Get off your lazy butt. &quot;Anyone who can give pat answers like that has never been down on their luck...but hey I just a bum who needs to get off my lazy butt and get a job ...right ?

		<description>J.M. Walker     No, not paranoid.  At least no more than what could be considered normal in this day and age.  Just have lived long enough to look back over the last several decades and very clearly see a pattern being followed.  And I stand by what I originallly said.  Our leaders, and other around the world ARE systematically destroying the America we think we know.  You cannot have a &quot;global community&quot; unless the major superpowers are brought to their knees.  For America it will more than likely be done financially.  And we, in the most part, will do it to ourselves.

All three networks carried it, you&#039;d have to dig through their archives or ask.

It was just before oil spiked.

Do you have any links to a reputable US news agency that show Bush on Israeli TV threatening a nuclear strike?

		<description>Back onto the subject.......dr is right, if you don&#039;t have skills that are in demand, then it doesn&#039;t matter how many letters there are behind your name. Like Moose said, nursing is a well paying, very in demand profession if you can handle the stress, and you don&#039;t have to have a 4 yr degree to do it. Too many kids in the USA go to college and get degrees that they can&#039;t do a whole lot with. Just look at India and China, they shame us with the number of students graduating with engineering and other technical degrees compared to us. In our country an education is taken for granted, but in those countries, it&#039;s the only way out of poverty and the chance to get an education is taken very seriously. Americans have become too spoiled and complacent, and in the end we&#039;ll pay for it with more of our jobs going to qualified people overseas.

		<description>Justoneman

That has been precisely my point. The amount of ire I&#039;ve drawn is in direct proportion to just how disturbingly close my point strikes those who plan so well. They&#039;ve had a long time to sell whatever is for sale and lack no cunning or willingness to feed their ever so hungry beast. I can&#039;t say I truly understand the gratification of underhandedness, though it seems so compelling for those schemers.

Besides self-admiration it&#039;s almost as though they beg to be stopped. That could be wishful.

		<description>Just a short note, folks.  You know if you put your own political rights and wrongs, beliefs and disbeliefs, what you all think our president and his cronies should or should not be doing into one pile and ignore them for just a little bit, it becomes very clear that our president (and associates) might very well know just exactly what they are doing, and are leading our country down a path that it will not survive.  At least not as we know America.  And that leaves me fighting mad.  However, if there is going to be a &quot;global&quot; community, then America will have to be brought to her knees.  And once you stop and LOOK at the whole picture, that is exactly what is going on.  Call me paranoid, but I challenge anyone to prove differently.

		<description>ProudMan

1.Spend and kill2.Spend and kill3.Spend and kill4.Spend and kill

5.Then,Get on channel 3 in Israel and threaten a nuclear strike on the world&#039;s crude oil delivery system.

Then, just rack-back and watch Crude spike to 70 dollars and gasoline to 3 dollars, which in turn shuts-down SUV sales overnight.

Dealers are stuck, and GM lays off thousands of workers.

President Alfred E. Newman, hard at work.

		<description>Moose:

Do I detect a litle sarcasm??

I agree with you for the most part.Management seems to be severely lacking at most hospitals.  You&#039;re not a &quot;Manager,&quot; You&#039;re a Tool of the administration.  Their only goal, is to make a profit, regardless of how many nurses they run off.

		<description>Now that is an interesting proposition;

Clinton: Inherited a strong economy. Hence, income up, tax receipts up, no wars. He almost blew it during his second term, but the Republicans took control of congress and we had record surpluses.

Bush: Took over at the start of a recession (Clinton&#039;s? If recessions are produced by current presidents.)

GDP is about the same as it was during Clinton&#039;s watch. Income is up. Inflation is lower. Unemployment is about the same.

The budget deficet is caused by stupid wars and massive natural disasters. Without 9/11, the budget would be in a reasonable range. There would have been no need ( as Congress saw it) to invade Afganistan or Iraq.

Winner? On economics alone, Bush. On everything else, Clinton.

		<description>Maybe some of you who think the president is responsible for the economy can answer a question:

What five things did President Clinton do that was responsible for the &#039;good&#039; economy?

What five things have President G.W. Bush done that is responsible for the current economy?

In other words, what exactly do you think presidents do that dictates the economy?

		<description>Galahad,I don&#039;t know- maybe the purifying effect of poverty, and it&#039;s way of making people get their priorities in order might do some of those jokers a world of good! Maybe they wouldn&#039;t be so quick to judge if they had a spell of desperate circumstances under their belts.

		<description>Great post, Jana--One can only hope that job dislocation and a plunge into poverty doesn&#039;t have to happen to JM and JoeW before they realize that Clinton&#039;s economy versus Bush&#039;s means people live better under the former than the latter.

		<description>Just a reminder here....A degree or education is not a guarantee to a job.  you must have skills that are in high demand.....period. If you have&#039;em a job ( a good paying one) is not hard to find.

If you think that you can just graduate from college at 21yrs old go into the workplace and just do the same thing for the rest of your life then yes you will find yourself in the exact same place as this woman.

Want proof that this is the prevailing mentality? just look at the fact that there is more emphasis by employees on employers paying for helath insurance than paying for tuition and books for education

		<description>I&#039;m sure the current CEOs are not too worried, they&#039;ll ride this gravy train as long as it lasts, then they&#039;ll all retire to the Caymans with their millions.

		<description>Oh ladies, ain&#039;t it the truth! I wonder how long before the big companies choke on corperate greed. Ours is a consumer driven economy. What happens to big business once they reduce us to surfdom?

		<description>It is so easy to sit back in your arm chairs and decide that everyone who is educated and can&#039;t find a job today must be unemployable because of some personality short-comings.It is really easy, if you have been lucky enough to not have been laid off in the last 3 1/2 years, to think you are somehow a much better worker than those poor schmoes who got pink slips.KEEP DREAMING!!!You will be awakened very soon.Reality has a way of sneaking up and biting you in the ass.

		<description>Professional jobs are leaving the country to be replaced with jobs that pay less than half what a worker was paying.

It&#039;s easy to say that worker was just greedy and should be willing to work for so much less.

What about the same companies that give their CEO&#039;s millions of dollars in bonuses?  How many people would that have kept on the payroll?

But hey, the CEO worked hard, the only thing the employee did was do the work that created the profits that paid his bonus. Why not replace them with someone who will do the work for less.  After all, don&#039;t you think next quarters bonus should be just a little more.

		<description>Damoon, I know people who support themselves and children on one income, $7.50-$8 an hour. They&#039;re called &quot;Temps&quot;. That&#039;s got to be one of the worst ideas our society has come up with. Throw-away labor.

		<description>I would imagine it&#039;s damn hard support a family, pay rent and utilities, and buy food on less than $10 an hour, but hey, if you&#039;re working what the hell.
