I pay 38% of my monthly salary for RENT because I decided it wasn't prudent to have a $300,000 condo mortgage (that only gets you a one bedroom). I guess I should have jumped on the band wagon and bought over my head, missed the payments, and I would be paying less than I am now and owning something. I guess it does pay to be a loser.

You’d better anchor your carrier another 9 miles offshore, 12 nautical miles is the internationally recognized boundary. Very interesting idea actually although you will be pilloried for “disenfranchising” the poor and needy.

I have my own ideas as to how to make healthcare affordable again and improve the economy. It was brought to my attention some while ago that many people will go overseas to such exotic locales as Thailand and India for surgical procedures at a fraction of what it would cost them in the U.S.. One of my more erudite friends commented: 'In some foreign lands the emphasis is more on the medicine rather than the money'. All right, here goes. We need a retired but functional nuclear aircraft carrier. Anchor it somewhere off either coast or the Gulf of Mexico. Three nautical miles puts you in international waters. Staff the thing completely with doctors and specialists from the many foreign lands who are trained or training in this country. The company would pay for medical school for anyone willing to put in, say, five years after graduation. Issue cheap health insurance policies for anyone willing to receive the same type of care you would receive in a conventional hospital. Non-critical patients could easily be brought in by boat, emergency cases could be flown in - you already have an airstrip. The distance from the shore keeps out the deadbeats. The location in international waters keeps out the lawyers (who would be refused treatment if they needed it. They would be keel-hauled if they showed up to make trouble). Unlimited self-contained power, 5,000 plus capacity, a ready supply of seafood and plenty of fresh air. Why not? Get me some start up capital.

I better call Obamy's people back and tell them I have been on welfare since birth, and I now have a home I cant afford because my food stamps will have to be actually used for food. Crap! This is scary! Talk about timing....there are only 5 people out of thirty left at my place of employment too....damn. I have to figure a way out of this, and pronto. I dont qualify for any programs of any kind, seriously, because I am guilty of paying everything on time and not spending money I dont have on things I dont need. This is surreal. Thank you all though, for your concern. I KNEW I should have registered as a democrat! Oh, by the way...I have been trying to call the 800 number they have now since budget cuts removed the unemployment offices from my county....I am at attempt number 267 and get the same "high volume, call back at another time" message.
