The whole process of being in transition is very frustrating at times. One of the sources of this frustration is our government. Many of us have lost their jobs through no fault of their own, but from the greed of senior managers to achieve bigger bonus checks, and inept middle managers who lack the courage to speak up about the human lives that are being economically decimated!
Our government rewards the irresponsible...yes the irresponsible! A young single mother who got that way via unprotected sex with a lazy, unemployed "baby daddy" gets food stamps, a medical card and cash allowance. They put little to nothing into the system. A middle aged couple needs to practically grovel for food stamps. By the time you do get the food stamps, the cupboard is empty. The unemployment compensation office is not any better with layers of questions and additional passwords just to get money that you have the legal right to.
What happened to the dream of compassion? This dream was alive in the sixties when I was growing up. Did this dream just die or is it in a deep slumber until enough of us are just fed up with our current existence. I used to believe what my parents and teachers told me, that if you go to school, study hard, even earn a degree, than your reward will be success and a great job If you should lose that job, remember that your office chair has wheels attached to it and all they do is push you to the curb like the day's garbage.
Till next time, God Bless Each and Every One of You and your Families,
For the Greater Good,
