November 4, 20169 yr You are in public education, right? You should probably be thanking all of the taxpayers, instead of Obama. That would be incorrect.
November 4, 20169 yr Just so I'm clear: When people who are making minimum wage are asking for a higher wage, then need to do something to get themselves a higher paying job. When they want healthcare benefits they're supposed to find an employer who provides them, even if means finding another job. Essentially, it's all on them. But if a college educted person isn't satisfied with the hand they are dealt by their employer , it's the governments fault? Before I came to work where I am 5 years ago, I worked 10 years abd had 3 2% increases total, over that time. I switched and in 5 years have almost doubled my salary, have benefits that are great, with reasonable OOP and deductables, at less than $75/month. I have 4% 401K match from them and I have gothen a 4% profit sharing distribution each March. Of course their are some tradeoffs, including a crappy commute. But I'm hard pressed to feel like my lot is not better, or that of it was not as I would like it, I couldn't fix it by leaving. And to be clear, I didn't come out of college and get a decent job. I got divorced, needed a job and leaped at every opportunity to advance, even when I was in over my head. When I needed more money, I worked more jobs. At one point when I needed affordable insurance, I sought out a part tI'm job with great benefits (SBUX), and stayed there a good while. So, yeah....some of us are not going to be able to empathize. ***Aloha!

November 4, 20169 yr Does anybody remember the recession that went down right before Obama got into office?
November 4, 20169 yr Does anybody remember the recession that went down right before Obama got into office? How could we forget? It's all Obama talked about for over 6 years.
November 4, 20169 yr Sort of. Dude drops knowledge. Thank you, Sir! That means a lot coming from you. :thumb:
November 4, 20169 yr I hear that a lot TAC from people I know. My question always arises as to "When were the morals in this country all the rage?" I see a sense of morality in some arenas of my past and the recent history but also saw some pretty awful things I would call immoral and others would just call society issues. I've also not understood this connection. Who the President is affects morals how?
