Hail would feel better. (Shafted. Get it?!? LOL)

Poem Artwork

My stimulus is broken and can't
get up:  little help, please?  Had
to decide whether to eat or pay
the phone:  long distance won't
put food on the table.  C.E.O.s
know this all too well:  been cut
to five hundred thousand a year.
Maybe they'll feel the pinch.  In
my dreams.  Try living on next
to nothing, bub.  Or on nothing:
everything going up except the
pay.  Viagara won't help.  How
will humping billions to those
who've screwed us fix all of the
problems they caused in the first
damn place?  Getting shafted ... 

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (2/4)

the stimulus package? -- $800 billion, that's $1 million dollars a day for 2000 years my friend! -- think about that number -- our money has gone to bigger and bigger government that is perpetuating itself and gaining control of our lives -- this is another political travesty of justice perpetrated against the American electorate by our elected officials -- nothing more -- much peace and love to you my dear friend -- JMW

Most insurances will pay for Viagra, too...lol. Mine wouldn't pay for birth control, though. Go figure. We can only hope that these decision makers tap into their humanity more often. Hang in there, Karla:) I'm currently half-dependent on workman's comp during my return to work part-time, light duty. I haven't been paid in four weeks. Guess they think my creditors are willing to wait. It's hard depending on others to do the right thing.

In my humble opinion (yeah! right!) the new GOP should have signed a warrant to the capture/prosecution/your-ass-belong-to-Sing Sing lightning Court process and wham! they go.
But no, they call it incentive...so the pirates can laugh all the way to the bank.

to the tune...money make the world go 'round, the world go 'round, the world go 'round. Excellent write, from the heart once again. The world economy is just like all the other pyramid schemes out there, except for one thing. The few little pin heads at the top with big pockets will very soon discover that the "money" which hasn't been based on gold for eons is in fact worthless. Absolutely worthless, they they think, maybe they don't think, but be sure we at the bottom are THEIR foundation. We crumble, they topple. This sad fact doesn't feed us now but as they say, or sang, "times they are a changing."Hugs, J'nia

The problem with the jerks who have run America down the drain is that they live in another world! No one ever asks us how to make the money stretch, or feed the family with nothing, or keep the roof overhead, all they do is take what little to nothing we have! You wrote it so well, as sad as it is...and you did it with humor, which is really quite amazing!!! Talent! Too bad it doesn't pay cash $$$... Thing is that waaaaay too many of us are going thru the same thing...trying to keep the utilities on, food on the table, and shoes on our feet... I just sent my grandson money for groceries, and I almost cried...because I know it's not enough...but he never asks for help...both parents working, hanging onto their home by a thread...and so it goes... it's just all so sad! HOpe you can get a miracle...that's how I survive... one miracle after another! hugs, lindalaw

I really wish I could do more to help you and Karen, we're struggling too, but by the Grace of God we get by, and with the help of caring friends! I have a small package being sent out to you and Karen in a few days, it is not much, but hopefully it will bring a smile to you faces...

Hi Karla:

The problem with America now is that there are so many things that needs fixing that it's not even funny. I hope in the near future you will see some better times. I know the feeling of "not having enough for the necessity of life", my hubby and I had been there and back many times in our lives, so I DO sympathize with you on this.

((((( Love and hugs )))))
