Kari works as a teacher's aide with a County Public School. She got her hours cut.
Danny is with the county's fire rescue department and their saying that there will be MAJOR cutbacks. They're talking lay offs and demotions. In emergency services. Not only that, but police service as well. Ok. So you the criminals will be running free without worries and you can die on the streets because there will not be available emergency units. They already had a few cutbacks a few months ago. Some stations were shut down, and you had emergency units running calls that were about 20 miles away if not more.
So not only will the cutbacks affect us personally in our pockets but also in our safety.
Oh and the joy of finding out that since we pay our mortgage on time that we don't qualify for those great interest rates to refi! Plus, since the value of my houe has dropped, my
lifeline equity line was suspended. That was our lifesaver on several occasions. And because of that home that we pay religiously, my girls don't qualify for financial aid for college. No financial aid & no equity line to help pay for it. SUCKS!
I have written before about the scam artists that know the system and know how to work it. Those that are on welfare their entire life, yet drive top of the line cars and wear designer duds. Since my taxes pay for all that, my blood boils. So back to college. Kari knows a girl who has a full grant. I'll just say that it's a necessity grant yet they are by no means needy. This is her second semester in college. She gets
everything paid. Tuition, books, labs. Each semester she takes full time credits... then drops about half her classes towards the end of the semester. Heck, why not? She's not paying for it.
Hope ya'll have a great weekend!
