This whole struggle of trying to keep my head above water is wearing me down. My son is getting older and naturally things get a little more expensive. But when you get to the point where you can't even imagine how you're going to pay for your kids lunch for the following two week after paying rent and bills, it starts to get a tad more stressful.
I'm not really sure how much longer I can keep this up, even with his dad sending me $350 bucks a month I still can't seem to make it stretch. How do people with more kids do it? how do they manage to survive? Or do they?
Man, it makes me laugh hysterically when I hear Newt Gingrich talking about Obama being the Food Stamp president and how we should demand jobs, not welfare. How he should teach the people skills to become employed and someday become the employer. Oh, this does sound good indeed. But tell me, how is he supposed to take an entire country of under-educated, under-privileged people and teach them this? Federal funded programs?! Nay you say, less government remember?
Fuck Gingrich, he obviously has a very narrow perspective of what it really means to be a leader or live in poverty, and if he ever lived in poverty and had to work his way to the top, then he has clearly forgotten. A leader takes his people and rises them above him in spirit and health, in wealth and education, and in spite of the economic situation. Sure, this is not easy, and if he Robin Hoods (take from the wealthy to give to the poor) it to accomplish this, then so be it. I mean for fucks sake, why does human being need $3,000,000 a year?? Seriously?
Anyway, Fuck Gingrich and Romney while we're at it.
