I wish I could say something to console you, but there are no words that would make your situation better. I keep screaming "WHY?" to an uncaring universe that never answers.

Today, America's priorities are so very screwed up, and I feel so much rage. If you were a corporation, I'm sure aid would be available. In your case, though, all Bushco wants is for you to pay tax dollars, which will be spent taking care of the wealthy.

None of us should have to work ourselves into poverty, and ill health. This is why I get so angry at the Republic party. We are supposed to somehow, magically, pull ourselves up by our non-existent boot straps, as we can't afford boots anyway.

Our obsession with unfettered capitalism is destroying us. Free trade, Nafta, all of those things are grinding us into the dust. I only wish I could help. I'm sorry I can't.
