And some people like me are financially strapped and do not have the
money
to save after the bills are paid. In fact, I was putting $20 a paycheck
into
the credit union at work trying to save a little bit and had to stop
making
that deposit because I needed that $20 per pay period just to make bills.
In
the last 3 years, our health insurance at work has gone up 135% and
co-pays,
etc have risen also. I have 3 prescriptions, my wife has 5 and our son
has
one. That's around $150 per month or a little more. Both vehicles are
paid
off, so no car payments. We rent a house and it is actually about $100
below
the going rate for our area. Electric bills are out the roof. Do I need
to
keep going? In otherwords, by me living paycheck to paycheck, and my
yearly
raises at 3% if I am lucky that don't even cover cost of living, I am
doing
everything that I can to stay afloat and will resort to whatever means I
have to to provide for my wife and son. I wish that you people that make
$100,000 a year, own airplanes, drive Lexus and Mercedes and live in half
million dollar houses could understand...


You can thank the chimp administration for the rise in health care and
prescription drug costs.

All republicans deserve to be murdered.
