I just saw a job posting for the same position paying $7.25/hour...LESS than half 22 years later.

This is what the 1% are doing to your wages.

Coming soon to a profession near you!

This really saddened me because nurses aides are so underpaid and undervalued and the wor... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Horse with no Name/68 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 15:52:48 Great post. From some of the research I did early into the Obama candidacy, there was A LOT that disturbed me.

First of all, he has led a very tactical approach to winning. Each step was measured. He kept his eye on the prize. Every movement in his entire career was planned out. Everything in his early histo... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Horse with no Name/66 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 15:10:39 It is down to two things in this country. You are either for the unions or for the corporations. At the present time..the corporations own the politicians.

I would certainly support a union-backed party challenge...and all that entails.

They are organized, they are motivated, and they ARE American.

In fact, UNIONS seem to me to be the perfect vehicle to challenge the status quo.... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Horse with no Name/67 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 00:28:18 Quick, easy, cheap spaghetti sauce (cost me less than .50 to make) 1 small chopped onion

1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 tsp. sugar

My daughter invested in a well-made expensive crib for her baby knowing that it met all federal requirements and would be a good investment because she would be able to get money back after she was done with it.

As a pediatric nurse, I am well aware of the risks of the older model cribs...but the... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Horse with no Name/63 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 00:56:10 Just to be clear. The Democrats that I have defended, voted for, worked for, and donated money to stood for the things that Democrats before us accomplished.

Things like:

8-hour workday

Social Security

Minimum Wage law

G.I. Bill of Rights

Marshall Plan

NATO

Peace Corps

Medicare

Medicaid

Operation Head Start

Civil Rights Act of 1964

1 cup flour
1 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 cup oil
1/4 fruit preserves (can substitute 1 egg)

We live in a dying community. Schools are dying. Jobs are headed out faster than you can count. Businesses are shutting down. BUT, housing is cheap. You can afford your house payments. It is Texas, so very few can afford their... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Horse with no Name/59 Mon, 18 Apr 2011 10:08:35 My Grandma told me that around the times of the Depression food security was something that was almost unheard of. They had 8 kids so I can imagine feeding a family of 10 would be hard.

They ate lots of beans, lots of cornbread, and my Grandma told me that on Saturdays they would splurge and each kid would get a coke and a bologna sandwich. That was a TR... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Horse with no Name/58 Tue, 12 Apr 2011 21:09:56 The history of Mexico is SO imporant and so overlooked I continue to harp on this because if you are wondering in what direction this country is going...it certainly isn't up...it is absolutely south of the border.

Why is this important? Ask yourself...do you want to be leaving YOUR country in search of sustaining YOUR family and are you going to be ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Horse with no Name/57 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 15:59:45 I clearly do not see the advantages of a global economy I remember paying several hundred dollars for a new VCR in the "old days". It was a Curtis Mathes. It was made in the USA.

Manufacturing jobs were created by that VCR.

There was a VCR repair shop in my town. That man made his living repairing things worthy of being repaired. That VCR made a c... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Horse with no Name/56 Sun, 06 Feb 2011 15:04:31 My cousin committed suicide. After 4 tours in Iraq and losing so many of his buddies, he went to a very dark place that we are all just learning of and obviously could not cope with. With him so far away, the military obviously offered no help for him. I am just learning details and will share more as I find them out. It happened in Georgia. Obviously, everyone in our family... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Horse with no Name/55 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 23:04:45 Remember the dragging death in Jasper? It happened again.

Nobody cares what I think, what I want, or what is important to me. I am an outsider to national politics at this point. All the important stuff happens locally anyway.
