The other 52% are so stupid or naive that they think nirvana is here. The 48% are the the ones whose taxes were supporting this country. They have never felt entitled to anything except work to support their family. We are not considering all the taxes lost due to all this unemployment. Someone in our family just lost his job. They have 4 little babies and have worked hard all of their marriage, paid tithes, taxes, done everything right. These are the people who are dropping like flies all over this country. I do not know what the future holds for this little family but only know that they have a family surrounding them that will help until every last penny is gone. I can only think of those who do not have this support. I am shocked that 48% of Americans are in a boat that is either sinking or taking on water.

Just another idea for give-aways...

I just happen to be sitting at home watching TV and surfing the net. Forced to do so on a Saturday evening because my vehicle which just had a rebuilt transmission installed got me to the tennis courts parknig lot this morning, but could not be shifted out of Park when I wanted to leave the lot. Fortunately, a tennis friend drove me back home after the Auto Club hauled my car back to the installer of the transmission, which was closed for the weekend. How great it is to have a friend when in need of one. How great it is that people are helping out each other in these bad times while the government seems to be screwing everything up. So after seeing your cartoon, I picked up a promotional boolet I just received in the mail, entitled "Retirement Freeloader" by David Eifrig, M.D.who for $49 will give you a 1 year subscription to "The Retirement Millionnaire" and instruct you how to freeload. In the booklet, he hints at ways you can make big bucks from a company for just staying in your home through an "equity release option." How you can get a big boost in money you receive from social security; how to use your retirement savings at any age, penalty free; how to get free phone calls, free golf, free healthcare, free vacations free dinners, free airline tickets, and much more. If you want to be teased by this guy, you can find the same teaser by clicking on the link below. Whether this guy is for real or not, I am not about to spend $49 to find out. And certainly, people standing in lines for food are unlikely to know about this "opportunity" or have the bucks to spend to check it out. Probably the people who might benefit from learning Dr. Eifrig's tricks are those who can afford to gamble. Or maybe they are trapped at home like me on a Saturday night with nothing better to do. http://www.stansberryresearch.com/pro/0902REMSTE49/WREMK225/PR You’ve done it again, Pat, by introducing a critical social issue with a cartoon that hits home to many people, as can be seen from the many comments above.

We have never had bills like our last two, and like Ferd, we will be paying for the TVA clean-up. Survival means food, water, and heat...they don't know that in Chicago!

We are quite satisfied, for the most part, with the response of TVA. It has been a good neighbor for many years and has worked diligently to maintain their rates al low as reasonable achievable. Now comes the out-of-state lawyers (Erin Brockovich, et al.) and media to make a god damn spectacle out of what was a local affair. Whatever money TVA will have to spend to defend itself will be charged to all customers, even those who had nothing to do with the lawsuits and were willing to at least listen to what TVA had to say.

I resent the govt bailing big companies out over and over again. I an disgusted with reading about Michelle's 'toned arms and how to get them', I resent the parties and 'cocktail hour' on Friday nights at the White House. I didn't work 31 years for the same company just to have my retirement eaten up at the grocery store and on electricity. The politicians who have achieved millionaire status should try living on what we do..... same here with the electric bills, continue to go up even tho I make a consistent effort to use less.

Good people do indeed get caught up in the calamity wreaked by others of lesser character. I am hoping that one day all those who are responsible for the current mess and those unresolved messes that came before will be rounded up, tried, convicted, and imprisoned.
