I used to think that if you worked hard and did not spend money like water that all would be well. My wife and I where able to raise a family and pay for a house. Saved a good bit for retirement. Then she gets sick. The insurance runs $1395.00 each month. Then her meds are another $1500.00. In just four years we have gone through most of our savings. Then this "wonderful" government says we are too rich for my wife to get disability. She will never draw a single dime of social security. She is only forty-two is on full time insulin pump and takes thirty some different pills each day. She worked until our children where born and then after they where in middle school. But good old uncle Sam says that she did not work enough in the last ten years to get anything. I am fifty and in good health but have worked at four different jobs in the last ten years where the company closes here and goes overseas. If I did not farm we would be screwed. The high unemployment here makes getting jobs real difficult. My repair business is slow right now too. I have had to turn work away if they could not pay it right when it was done. I used to be able to carry them a little while but no more. I charge less than the dealers but more than the know nothings working in their barns. The illegals here have cost most of the farm kids their jobs. My son worked at two hog confinement setups all during high school. He got up at four am and worked then went to school. Then worked after school. He was paid $8 per hour. I made him file his taxes and social security. At the end of his senior year one farm hired illegals and paid them five dollars and hour under the table. The other did it about a year later. Most of the diaries around here use them as well. I guess not liking that makes me a racist. We are slowly becoming a third world country. My children will be hard pressed to have the same standard of living that their mother and I have had.
