To fix the economy, all they got to do is have the government bail out the mid/lower middle class and poor by buying them a home. Meaning the government buys up these homes in foreclosure, or homes like in my area going for cheap, put a cap of say $150K tops, and anyone who is in a certain pay scale bracket gets a home in size compared to their family and where they live, free of charge. But they cant sell it when they leave for what ever reason. It goes back up in the national register for another family to take over, and they can move to another one where ever they go, or if they were lucky enough to better themselves and get out of the system can do so, thanks to be given the chance to take the savings and invest it into opening a shop or ??

But the thing about this is that it will help those in that class take care of one HUGE out of pocket expense and in doing so they can put that money towards:

New car-Bringing the auto industry out of its slum
Health care for their family-No more need for a nation health care package
Able to take family on trips-Helping some rich guy keep his place open that he relies on tourist for his income.
Schooling for their child, or better schooling for their child

The point here is people, instead of bailing out the companies and leaving the main cause that they are failing, aside of the people high up in the companies sucking up all the money, is by taking care of the class that really keeps this world go round by removing the biggest bill they have, which is rent or a mortgage they are struggling to keep up.

Also by the government buying up the homes from the banks they are saving the banks too in a way as well. Granted there are some limitations to this idea, especially if they happen to live in a big city, but in the suburbs, or in the country this would allow a family to move to where the jobs are, have a home waiting for them free of charge, buy that new car, ditch the old 15-20 year old gas guzzler for a newer, more eco friendly, what have you.

I think comes down to it is everyone, and everything will benefit from doing this, including the environment because then they will be getting rid of the cars that are not running correctly, needing a tune up, for newer, more eco friendly ones as well, so it helps everyone including the enviroment.

By bailing out the companies, its not going to fix the fact people are having a hell of a time either paying the bank note, or the car note, or neither. This way if the home is paid for, they can take that $8 walmart job, and live sorta off that till something else comes around, and Im living proof of this for after I got hurt, I took my settlement and bought and paid off my bills and my home, and bought my home here in Dyer TN after moving from Chicago for $49.5K and its near mint in a great area 100X better then where I moved from. I cant work no more, and my wife makes $7.10 an hour and till I get on SSD thats what we been living on, kind comfortable, for a family of 4, for the last 3 years. So it can be done, provided your home and car is paid off, and if you got 2 working people in the home both making $8 a hour they can live pretty good and have nice new(ish) cars and money left over every month, so I feel the government should really be looking into something like this if they want to pull us out of the slum we are in.

NOW as for living in China must suck.

Im sitting here looking at my stuffed bear my wife gave me for VD,and of course it, like almost everything esle its tagged: Made in China, on it. It it got me thinking of the factory worker that may have made this and how sad they must kinda feel in making this, or pretty much anything for anyone in any country for that matter. The get up at 4am in their dirt covered mud hut, or 400sq ft apartment shared with 20 other people, go to work making bears, rc toys, love cards, dildos, pretty much anything and everything so we can have the good life and they got nothing. That really must suck balls 🙁

As for sucking to be in the arts.

I was watching Last Action Hero last night and it got me thinking about being asked the question "if you were given the chance to see into your future would you like to see it?"

And I thought about movie actors and music performers and how it must kinda suck when they start to get up in years and live through their drug and beer ways, and the movies they were in, or the music that keeps getting played over and over from 10-20 years ago reminding them over and over again on how great it was at that time, and how much their life sucks right now, how fat they are now, or the wrinkles, or flabby arms they got that used to be pure muscle.

I personally dont know if it would really be worth all that fame and fortune and then be reminded over and over exactly how old I am and how pathetic my life has become from where it used to be. Sure it was fun at the time, money was flowing in, girls three at a time, but now Arnold looks like crap, and its got to take a toll on him mentally in some way, and has must have people around him all the time telling him he looks great, he is the man, just so he doesnt do himself in when reality sets in.
 
The Dr. prescribed my wife Topamax to stave off impending migraines, perhaps I should have her stop ...
 
I agree with your title...it does indeed have you loopy. Your long rambling post proves that. 😛


I don't know how you can take that stuff. I have a bottle of it that my pain management doctor gave me a couple of years ago...the stuff wound me up like an 8-day clock...
 
what does all that have to do with topax?

and i swear my pain doctor has gone nuts or in trouble. i had a visit today. wanted something stronger then Vicoden as this winter has been really rough on me. there has been afew days where i could bearly stand let alone walk.

i went in last week for a bone scan and it came back normal (wich is odd last one i had showed severe detoration of my right hip joint and mild in shoulders/chest). So he refused to give me anything stronger saying that without proof (excuse me! i been comeing to you for years for pain..i have a damn huge folder showing shit) he cant. then he goes on to say he wouldnt anyway because im only 35. he does not want me on anything worse then viceden (and hinted that he may not refill that) because at 80 i may have problems from it.

ok great so you want my quality of life NOW to suck but you want it good at 80? EXCUSE ME? fuck you. i want to be able to play with my kids. i want to be able to mow the lawn. i want to be able to go to the fridge and get a soda without pain.

I'm not worried ab out when im 80 (if i live that long anyway).

ugh its jus tpissing me off.
 
I hear you there waggy. And what gets me is my Neuro doc sent me to this place, and he thinks that my migraine and not all in part to do with a normal migraine that people get, because for years I been telling them all no matter what pain drug they put me on, it never works, not only for my head but for my neck, my back, or my head, it just doesnt work, I get high, thats it, Im stoned and in frekin pain. And my new neuro thinks that my migraines may be caused by a nerve pinch in my neck by the 2 spots I have arthritis growing big bulges at in the sides of my neck. I tell that to the pain doc, she goes "Uh HUH, well take this Topamax anyway." I ask "Is it going to make me High? I cant stand being high." And she tells me yes, and if I want to take advantages of the pain management process and be a part of the system I must take the pills and try all the things they want to try or I cant see them anymore. So Im forced, and they even made me sign a fucking conract, into taking any pills they give me, and anytime I show up for my appointments I have to bring all my pills with me to show them so they can do a pill count. But they just dont fucking care, they just like to hand out pills like they are candy, and they dont really seem to care about the pills they give you just as long as they stuff they do give you fgives them a kick back from the pill company. They are reluctant in giving you a different pill if they feel you dont need it, or they wont get a kick back from it, or both.

I thought Vicoden though was a kicker, just one damn topamax has got me all waggy. I want to do something and I freaking can do anything at all, this sucks ass!

I gladly welcome this side effect with open arms, and will down the whole bottle if need be to make it happen 🙂

Just kidding really. Ive lost 60lbs so far now that my back has gotten worse really. It on its own has been a good food suppressor for when I do get the chance to get up to got to the bathroom and force myself to do so I go to the kitchen starving looking for something to eat, and by the time I get through all the cabinets the refrigerator and taking a piss Im hurting so bad food then becomes the last thing on my mind and I have got to go sit. But it would be nice not to have the craving for food, that sucks, and I just keep a gallon of water near me to bat that down. Can have pop no more, not even diet, doc says my vocal cords are being eaten away from heartburn though I have never felt it come up, or at night while laying down, but he says he saw it using the scope down my nose into my throat. I cant have cheese or milk no more too. Man my live just sucks big time now that Im thinking of it. Cant eat, cant drink, cant smoke, cant fuck, whats left to do 🙁
