Well I just read the thread and have to say there is a lot of good information here. For me, I did not grow up all over the world or the US. I have lived in the same area my whole life, a place that my Papa grew up in too. When I was younger my Papa, who was 11 years old when the Depression hit, passed a lot of things on to me as far as surviving in hard times. I hope we never see times like what the old generation did but I feel that we are on a road to repeat it, if not live a worse version.

Arch, I saw the pamphlet that you posted about supporting the Constitution, and I do believe in the ideas of our founding fathers so I guess I am "bad". It is unfortunate that roughly a 5th of our population is getting assistance and not contributing. What a shame.
