+10Any trust I had in the government. %20 of my hours at my job. The cost of my health insurance has tripled. The price of gas is $2 more than it was before Odumba. Subsequently, the price of consumer goods have shot up. My constitutional rights seem to be a little on the lighter side.
And, if you are employed by a public entity such as a City, County, or such without medical benefits, you might have misunderstood the Human Resources advisor. I thought all Fire Departments had such benefits. Now, if you just refuse to contribute toward the premiums, that is a different story as there are no free rides for those who work except when they go to ER and use it as a "free clinic" as millions do.
Perhaps if you moved from Locust Grove to Atlanta or Macon you would find a job there with a Fire Department with fully paid benefits including retirement programs, vacations, etc... the full boat.
The "socialist" thing you just throw out there because you heard Rush or Glenn use the word that has no meaning or relationship to your problems. The Depression of 2008 began in 2008, long before Obama can to office. Humpty Dumpy was in pieces when this Administration moved into the White House.
The obvious answer is socialized medicine with everyone paying for it as a tax deduction based on income. I.E, you just change the medicare age to 0 and increase the Medicare tax to cover the new people. Now when you get sick you just go to the doctor and make a small co-pay and get seen. Wouldn't be perfect but should work better for most people.
One of the big problems is that the Republican House will not approve block grants for the states. Now some people say they can't afford to but the net affect is that the money comes out of your and my pocket to make up for it.
FAITH in the American government.
It's a disgrace.
The Right to Petition the Government for Redress of Grievances
The right to protest is being curbed across the country, and at the federal level. Tea Party members are cheering as municipalities outlaw the Occupy Wall Street protests. The irony that they fail to see is that the same laws will apply to them when they seek to protest the next outrage from the administration. Congress has followed suit by passing a bill (which Obama signed into law) that makes it illegal to protest anything in the vicinity of Obama or anyone else with Secret Service protection. You can be charged with a federal offense if you protest near a building that Obama happens to be in, even if you’re protesting a sepa...

The Right to Privacy
Once the NSA’s new Big Brother data collection center goes online in September of 2013, you will no longer have a right to any sort of privacy in America. Any transaction or communication that you make that involves an electronic transfer of any sort will be collected and catalogued by the federal government. If you make a cell phone call, it will be recorded and stored there. Every website you visit will be tracked, as will every debit card purchase that you make. (Prediction: When people begin making more cash-only purchases in response to being spied on, cash will eventually be outlawed.)
The Right to Freedom of Religion
Obama signed a U.N. Resolution on December 20, 2011 that makes it illegal to say anything negative about Islam, even if it’s true. Simply pointing out the fact that Christianity is true and Islam is a satanic car-burning cult (hat tip to Ann Coulter) could get you arrested.
The Right to Life
You no longer have the right to live if Barack Hussein Obama declares you to be an enemy of the state. Eric Fast-and-Furious Holder and Obama have both claimed the right to assassinate American citizens on U.S. soil if they are suspected of being a terrorist. At the same time, the government is declaring that Tea Party members, Christians, preppers, conservatives, libertarians and people who make cash purchases for mundane items are terrorists.
The Right to Property
The acknowledgement that property ownership is equated with freedom has been recognized in western civilization since medieval times. Obama signed an executive order on March 16, 2012 which states that the government can seize all property, all food and even your labor in both emergency and non-emergency times. You can be forced to work for the government without pay, and the government can confiscate anything and everything within U.S. borders at the drop of a hat. All Obama has to do is flip a switch and our illusory way of life could come to an end.
has remained rather constant, depending on cash flow for value. Home "values" remain on the downside because they never were worth anything near the false "values" given them by the fraudulent lending schemes of the Reagan Banks and mortgage industry. So, hire a professional who works for a direct fee and not any commissions, demand some personal references and talk to them in person until you find a competent and honest advisor.
