but seriously, and this is strictly a financial observation...

does anyone find it odd that we can dish out 700 billion dollars to help the financials (which I can understand why: we're the world leader in economy. We have to create the credits so the rest of the world will follow. If we crash, world economy crash...OK, that's fine...not perfect, I don't like it, but I understand it)

WHAT I find ODD, is the fact that we can give out 700 billion here and 110 billion to AIG but we cannot offer health care to EVERY SINGLE person in this country...

my father couldn't get insurance nor medicaid...I went to the DSS office more than 30 times to fight to get his medicaid. He paid taxes...

one of their excuses to me was that the budget was limited and that they can only have so many applicants and blah blah blah...

I worked three jobs and my mother worked two and we took care of him...

one month after he passed away, I got a letter in the mail saying he was approved for medicaid...this was after I've sent them his death certificate and told them to cancel all the paperwork...

THAT, baffles me....
