I have a big feeling you are living on the government's dole, hence this post. I am not saying I agree with these cuts, on the other hand ,none of these cuts if they happened would affect me so there would not be an outrage on my part if they happened.
If these measures happen believe me, you will be affected one way or another.
things are bad for me right now also.I cannot aford to feed clothes house and buy big screen tv's for everyone else right now.obamas stash is only what he steals from the working class and we are broke. what else do you want from us
Dialogue? I always forget that you live right down the road from me. IMO our part of Colorado sucks right now. I'm in Cortez because the housing is affordable, but forget the job scene here. All I've been able to find is a lousey minimum wage job. Durango seems to have the jobs, but you have to pay 2k a month for like a 2 room apartment and you can't have pets-be a student-must have references out the whazzoo. Blah, blah, blah. I think if I send in just one more job application/resume I'm gonna puke because they all get buried in the 1,000 other apps that come in. What's the point?
It's too simplistic to just blame Obama, though. As far as I'm concerned, both parties have scr*wed the pooch.
That's the curse of these entitlement programs. Once you start them, people get addicted to them and you get yourself bankrupt because of ever increasing numbers of people who depend on them.
Once you no longer have money to pay for these programs, the people revolt because the goose stopped laying the golden eggs.
It is a catch 22. It will be a social disaster either way.
I agree with Sacramento916.
The Government needs more cuts and now its almost impossible to do so..
Without people screaming that old people will be forced to eat dog food,etc
The same old spin we have heard for 20+ years.
Republicans hate the poor,elderly,disabled and Minorities and wish them harm.
The left wont give up on bribing with entitlements and goodies and the right..
Wont cut defense spending and wont raise taxes on anyone.
Wow, what an awful idea, forcing people to assume responsibility for their own lives and support. Why, the next thing you know, these poor folks will actually have to go out and find a job. Imagine that, working for a living, what a novel concept.

Hey i think I know what you are saying.90% of my work is in Dgo but I could never aford to live there nor would I want to.try getting a job in Mancos. If your family dont own a ranch or business good luck.you sound like me the last couple of winters when I was selling my own stuff just to pay the mortgage. I spend my summers just trying to save enough to survive another winter with no work. way things are now. good luck to you .just being honest here ,you seem like an ok person hope things get better for you ps my nickname is pooch
We all see difficulties ahead. I propose a partial solution, but a big first step: stop buying foreign made goods. The loss of jobs through out-sourcing is the root cause of our problem.
If these measures happen believe me, you will be affected one way or another.
Please explain how? I work part time at minimum wage only taking home $850 a month myself. What are they going to doing, steal my 20 year old beat up Ford Escort? Or maybe break into my ghetto apartment and steal my canned food?
The country has been going down hill since the great society programs of the 60s and allowing unions in any form of government job.
Unfordable, unsustainable and the private sector dies from it.
