Work it girl.

How's the economy going for the rest of us?

About a half mile from my house, on what was the outskirts of Minneapolis, sits an old motel that only survives these days because indigents coming into the city and who qualify for emergency assistance from welfare, receive vouchers to stay there. They also get money for food and other necessities. Many times these folks walk through the neighborhood on their way to a nearby supermarket to pick up groceries. Many of them come in from Chicago and have something of an entourage themselves - several kids and an occasional boyfriend/husband. They tell me Minneapolis has better benefits than Chicago.

I just heard of an acquaintance who was laid off. He and his wife have 2 kids, a house in the burbs, 2 SUV's, and don't forget 2 kids - who must be clothed, fed, educated, and so on. His wife has been out of work for a year and a half. The family's health insurance alone costs them almost $2000- a month. The husband, who is around 60 years old, suggested to his wife the family would be better off if he killed himself.

You just watch - there is going to be a backlash in this country and it is so going to hurt.
