#3 and #4 really hit home with me. I often skip a meal to make sure my kids have enough to eat. After losing my full time job last October and then getting only part time work since May of this year Ive dropped 40 pounds as money has been real tight, resulting in fewer and fewer groceries in the grocery cart. No, Im not what the republicans would have labeled as a fat lazy slob, (Im just very tall so I hid those extra 40 pounds well) my current job is very labor intensive as well. I also have a Bachelors degree--which has done absolutely nothing for me except put me further into debt, so repubs can shove that get an education and get a real job line right up their asses. Id do anything to make sure my kids have enough to eat but sadly many of those meals as of late are hotdogs and Mac&Cheese--not terribly nutritious. Im still searching for full time work (that would actually pay for more than just the cost of daycare) as it makes no sense to work full time just to have your entire paycheck go towards someone to watch your kids and then end up with zero take home pay. Sorry if Ive shared too much but this is my current reality and surely a few of you can relate. --Mace
