I don't think Max is trying to get people upset, I think he really believes what he post.

And PrettyFace08, I'm really sorry about relating "ghetto" with drug dealing. I was wrong. It's just that I was only trying to get Max to see that the "race" of people who he's called "ghetto" on several occasions, are actually smarter than (and not lazy) the "trailer trash" that he seems to leave out of his posts. He doesn't get that it works that way with every race of people.

As an employee of the largest health care system in Michigan, we have had layoffs, reductions in vacation time, benefits and retirement matching. There have been several articles that have indicated that the nursing shortage is over. We get an average of 500 applicants for each single job posted. It's to the point that external postings are only put up for one day because HR can't handle the volume of resumes that come in if it's up there longer. We are only able to directly replace. New positions are only approved if they are 100% funded by soft (grant) money. I will attest that health care is not all wine and roses right now either.

The max unemployment benefit is $1400 a month. That's about $8.00 an hour. People with higher degrees who were making significantly more money are NOT satisfied living with that income.

There are many services that our taxes pay for that we, as individuals, may never use. I, for example, don't ever expect to need a public defender since I'm never going to break the law (although I could be wrongly accused, I imagine). There are other services we, as individuals, may utilize more than someone else. It's a wash in the end.

Ford Motor Credit just announced 900 more white collar layoffs. Ugh.

Oh, no apology is needed. I was really just trying to get a better understanding of what you meant, seriously. I was just going to explain to you what Knight_Shadow did. It's cool, and I agree with what you were saying.
