I have posted here for years. This is not my computer.

Why is it "correct" to attack me as a person while overlooking my argument? Don't you realize that I (as a person) am the one thing that you genuinely know the least about?

As we speak, this thread is being heavily moderated and edited. I have no intention of retyping how I have responded to your other positions. I will say that my first political activities began in 1970 when I became eligible for the draft.

Edit:

This is an interesting perspective from a current thread called "I just ran the numbers"

Quote:

With the economy sputtering--it's important to plan for a worst-case scenario--such
as long-term unemployment, loss of benefits or the closing of a family business. As many of us
know first hand--we've all ready had a worst-case scenario happen in our households.

A while back, I ran some numbers. I was trying to figure out how long we could survive
if my husband lost his job--since he is the major breadwinner. I happened to look up
my state's unemployment benefits, and I was shocked. The maximum benefit for a family
of four--is $1,692 per month. Considering that we would have no health benefits, and would
need to pay about $1,000 per month for COBRA--that would leave our family with $692 per month
to live on, plus savings.

Did you realize that this is happening on OUR watch? Where IS our leadership? An ordinary DU poster can create this simple and compelling argument while our elected leaders can't even understand and speak to it?
