I started shouting at the TV when he pulled that one out... go tell people like Todd Blanchard, Lincoln, and the others here that they just need a degree from a community college. What an asswipe. He lives in a different reality. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

Post #179,362 by tuberculosis 10/14/04 7:53:00 PM Reply	Problem is BUSH IS OUT OF TOUCH My wife has taken Bush's advice (she used to do software QA for a certain large CAD company). She does not have a degree (yet). After 3 years of zero opportunities, she is attending CUDenver (and I am flying back to Denver every other weekend). Somebody please explain to me how the government has helped us out here. She is finishing a degree in a topic that she was closest to having a degree in. Not sure if there's a job in that - the word is she'll probably need a graduate degree too. She has paid two semesters of out of state tuition because I have to keep moving around to stay employed (out of state tuition is about 5X what in state tuition is). There has been no eligibility for financial aid - turned down for the Pell grant (not sure why - it would be a drop in the bucket anyhow). Because of moving around (necessary to stay "competitive"), I have been ineligible for unemployment benefits (its a state benefit and I happened to be in another state during my last steady work stint - OK I was out of country too - a stream of short term "contracts" doesn't help you accrue benefits). My kid was a flu victim last year and cost me about $2k in unexpected medical bills (yes she had a shot - no it didn't cover that strain). Why such a hit? Because the lame BC coverage we can afford pretty much only covers life threatening catastrophic stuff after the $2500 deductible. We converted the bulk of our retirement accounts to food, home equity, medicine, and fuel over the last 2 years. WE ARE THE FUCKING POSTER FAMILY FOR WHY BUSH NEEDS TO GO NOW. He's way out of touch. That was lovely cheese. --Wallace, The Wrong Trousers

With 2 of the prev quarters out of the country, there was nothing to claim. Nevermind that I paid into CO for 10 years straight and CA for 3. I got $195 per month and it only lasted 3 months. BFD. That was lovely cheese. --Wallace, The Wrong Trousers
