<p>My mother worked for the state of TN and she explained to me that the people on the families first program all had jobs. they just weren't jobs that would balance with the cost of living. some of them are trying so hard to make it they have exhausted themselves in the struggle. Our gov, is here to help us,why not have the citizens of our great nation help one another? what's wrong with people having the courtesy of helping their "fellow American"? Either Rockefeller, or Morgan, or one of the other big business leaders of the latter half of the 1800's worked hard all of his life, achieved a large some of money, and then worked even harder at giving it away, why are people so selfish? A friend of mine is always talking about how he wished the people of America had a little bit more pride in their country. He also complains about welfare programs, this thread has made come to the conclusion that if the people of America could have some help from America, maybe they would be more excited about the country they live in.</p>

<p>I love how you automatically know what party you wanna vote for.</p>
<p>Ever hear about analyzing candidates rather than voting on your party?</p>
<p>^ I know, I know, lol, I'm really quite controversial, the fact that I'm 18 and I know what party I want to vote for. Well, compared to the vast majority of 18 yr. old's who don't vote in the first place (probably the reason why politicians pay absolutely no attention to young adults, i.e. the skyrocketing college tuition costs...), I guess I'm sort of above the curve in that respect. I think, if more young adults (18-21) actually voted in elections, esp. state ones, there would be more politicians willing to do something about the enormous debt so many college students are under. It's really terrible...anyway, you should give that some thought. :)</p>
