You lazy freaking freeloader.. 8 and 1/2 months! How dare you! (I'm joking of course) Really I know so many people who have hit the pavement hard looking for work and it's just no there. Near where I used to live in Oregon there is a paper mill that makes a lot of the paper towels that Costco carries. Not long after I moved south they shut down 1 of the 3 paper machines they were operating. So basically 1/3 of the work force was laid off. I have several friends who walked into work one day and in their time card slot was a notice that as of the next week they would no longer need to report for work. I'm sure it was worded nice but basically "nice knowing ya, next Thursdays make sure you take home all the stuff in your locker as you will not be returning on Friday." One friend in particular sticks out in my mind. 19-20yrs on the job, hired right out of high school. All he's every done is run a paper making machine. Had a kid in college and another ready to head off in a few months. Family health insurance ran out after, I think, three months. His kids are all working low paying jobs, one is trying to stay in school to finish his degree, think he's going half time and working full time (fast food.) Mom's job always was half time with the county head start program. He's now, almost three years later, pumping gas at night and picking shrimp or whatever seafood is currently in season during the day. So far they've manged to keep the house but lost a car and a boat. Surely their credit sucks.
The thought of my tax dollars going to freeloaders like him and you really pisses me off... NOT. No, no I'd much rather pay for cut taxes on the upper 10% because you know they're going to spend what they get to keep and that'll keep everyone working and happy. BULL FUCKING SHIT... it has never worked that way.

Yep the US is really alone in not having some type of national health care. The US is the only country doing it right, right? I don't buy that load of crap either. Hell I live in Mexico and the health care I get here is way better the health care I got in the US. For about $500 I could get in on the IMSS (Mexican national health care) but I buy private insurance that covers just about everything for around 1200 USD a year. For what I get in care and coverage it would likely cost me much closer to 1200 USD a month for the same in the US.
It's time to stop thumping our chests and claiming the US has the best health care in the world and make moves to at least catch up with Cuba. I mean sure the US has great care available... if you have the cash to pay for it. If not- Well fuck you! You freeloading bastard!
Cause that's the America I know a country full of free loading pieces of shit unwilling to work and only interested in sucking off the teat of big government.
