It is absurd how people can come in and claim your space as their own and the law sides with them, the government gives to them and you foot the bill. I am too tired to keep scrimping so others can have a better life. I will help anyone who needs it. I will not have it taken from me without my permission.

Justi,
sounds familiar! We have a similar situation in this country! I remember a case last year, a man from Jamaica, with a long string of convictions. He was caught again committing a crime, and it turned out he had been deported
seven times, only to return time and again! Go figure!

We had an incredibel situation here. A routine traffic stop, a Mexican just pulled a gun shot the cop. When they got a back up and investigated the thing they found he had shot his half brother, he and a local meth cooker had sawed him up, burried him under cement. The others involved except the two they caught that night escaped to Mexico!

We blame everything but the truth of the matter Insurance companies run this country. They have their greasy hands on everything in some form or fashion. It is more dangerous to go to the hospital than stay home now. They lessen the quality and raise the prices on anything they can insure.

This is an enormous problem. There are many Mexicans in North Carolina. They cause a lot of problems, and seem to completely disregard the law. Why should they obey it? They just flee to Mexico when they get a chance. It's outrageous.

There's no 'what if' to medication insurance companies changing policy stipulations - to their advantage - once they've captured a million or more new accounts as they did recently.

Those who are not involved in this have no idea what people go through who don't have insurance and don't have enough money to really meet their needs and medications too. It is bad news bears!

I did not take it that you were putting anyone down. I get bored with my own sometimes. Actually the one I like best is the least favorite. That is the coffee break I am feeling like I can really talk to my mama on some level. Now I probably am certifiable. LOL

No! No! No! Justi, don't cul. I like all of them the way they are. It just fascinates me that certain people keep up so many blogs so well. I was not putting down those (like me) who can't.

"what ifs" are scary here in Canada, too, so much so that my desire to
retire early is put on hold...there is nothing very solvent about Canada Pension..

That is a wise thing. I was not so fortunate. I was in my own business a very cyclic one at that or all of them were. LOL plus I needed to care for parents and when you send children to school you better have a big sack socked away. You don't have that but it takes so much now to live. Mine did not rely on mama for college but the basics were a lot. I could not possibly live on what I draw, not in a million years.

Justi, that write up I did in my journal blog about the hispanic woman
on WIC??? I wondered if she was illegal. The way my sis described her actions sort of made me ponder . . . . You make some very valid points for sure. Illegals are, most of them, hard working folk, but they do get a lot of freebies which hard working LEGAL NATIVE born Americans would never qualify for. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, eh?
My goal is to sock away enough for retirement so I don't need to rely on SSI, since I'm betting it won't be solvent when I go to retire in 25 years or so.

Good points
I do not live in the U.S. It sounds as if illegals are becoming a major problem. Are there still people coming in legally? Just interested as my wife want to live in America one day.
