April 22, 2008And you expect an honest reply from these liberal wienies?
Well, my wife keeps me busy all day. Does that count? According to what I read yesterday, the actual rate of unemployment is now at 23%, unofficial of course. Full-time employed is relative. Full-time at McDonald's means little if you have health insurance that carries a $6,000 deductible, paying $750 a month rent, $300 a month car note, $250 a month for utilities, $150 a month for gasoline, $60 a month car insurance, $300 a month for food and misc. household items, $25 a month for clothes, and items such as cell phone usage, medicines, dental care, doctor visits, money for emergencies, and off-time recreation.Unofficial poll. Just want to see how close it is to all of the statistics I've been seeing.
What happened to the good old days, when someone could support their family on a single pay check?Well, my wife keeps me busy all day. Does that count?

In other words, in order for someone to be self-supporting, depending on area of the country, it would take approx. $2,000 a month after taxes and other payroll deductions to squeak by without the need for assistance of some sort. So, full-time employment means little if one is working full-time, but still requires assistance in order to make ends meet. Remember, everyone doesn't live with parents or friends, live in Mississippi, nor drive a 1981 Chevy. Not everyone that works is in perfect health. No everyone that works lives within walking distance of their job, and not everyone lives in a $150 a month rundown mobile home.
A full-time job doesn't mean much if one still qualifies for government assistance programs such as food stamps. What's more important when speaking of employment numbers, is the number of workers earning a living wage. Some folks that work from their homes, work 15 to 20 hours a week and make a 6 figure income. The number of hours does not correlate to a living wage, nor to being self-supporting. I had rather know how many workers are employed making a living wage.
Skills that were once handed down through many generations were lost when we closed our plants and factories in favor of cheap foreign imports. We closed our steel mills, textile mills, tool shops, toy factories, furniture factories, appliance factories, automotive parts plants, electronics plants, housewares plants, farm equipment plants, and started the flood and influx of cheap goods made in sweat shops that uses child labor. We've become import dependent, and as a result, sacrificed our own economic well-being in favor of supporting foreign economies. Through our unfair, unjust, and one-sided foreign trade agreements and policies, we've created a poor and dependent citizenry, dependent on government assistance programs and unemployment checks for their survival.What happened to the good old days, when someone could support their family on a single pay check?Well, my wife keeps me busy all day.
