4 years in a stagnant economy with a daughter and a very sick wife that is unable to work. What's your point?

don't know why you bother with this thread.

anyway.....to be a moderate voice here.....I think LQZwhatever's comments were extremely insensitive and unwarranted. I also think that too many people write these situations off to a "bad economy" and some other bad luck. Neither reaction is obviously fully informed on the situation so neither should be so extreme.

I think they should be questioned and audited to an extent and held to some reasonable standards. Her medical treatment is extremely expensive, and the family assistance may well be warranted. There may also be some abuse, some assets, something that can be reasonably done to help the income situation. Do you know how many people work these type of businesses and deal in cash, don't report it, and write off the majority of reportable income as a loss? Hard to prove, but I see it happen frequently. After four years, I question why he's hanging onto a failing business and not liquidating and going to work as an employee. It's a fair question. Maybe the reason for hanging on is that it's more profitable than he'd like you to believe? Or maybe there's a valid reason for it.

The govt. doesn't demand nearly enough in return for it's generosity and doesn't do enough to prevent abuse. On the flip there are alot of people truly in need and they should get assistance. It's a fine balance so that too much red tape doesn't bog down the system but that line is presently way too far on the side of too little oversight. Point is, nobody should think it's one or the other, nobody should label anyone's situation without intimate knowledge of it. Attack the system, not the player.

First off most of the unskilled carpenters were smart enough to have left around here and gone back to Mexico .. due to the lack of available work these last 4 years.

If the lady can't work why does she not sign up for Disability Insurance?

I don't think you ought to "zing" Kobie if he hasn't post something in the thread yet ... That isn't PC and is pretty low down IMO.

She had applied and was approved for SSDI - which means she has incredible insurance actually. Maybe not for her extreme condition but she has both Medicaid and Medicare. I don't blame her really. I blame the husband that has had 4 years to make a difference... actually no, I blame Obama.
