Who's working and what jobs do you do

[Ms. Kianna]

Aren't those the type of programs the Republicans are trying to cut to balance the budget, as they consider people on welfare or public assistance to be "takers", whereas raising taxes on the wealthiest people would be wrong?

Yep.....

Similar to the uk. The new archbishop of canterbury has condemned the governments plans for such cuts.

Most already know that I'm a PC-troubleshooter.

In the days of the commodore-64, my career started, working for a magazine publisher. Shortly after IBM launched it's first PC... and I found my calling in servicing these machines.

Robert, without the likes of you we wouldn't be typing these messages.

I'm gonna sound a bit stupid here, but don't forget I am from across the pond, but what is a respiratory therapist. Maybe we call them by a different name over here. Whatever, it's great to see that some people actually enjoy their work.

Respiratory Therapy is a specialized field where people are trained to deliver oxygen to patients by whatever methods are required to keep the patient oxygenated. But it is not just that simple. We are the ones who place patient on life support. Then we maintain the breathing machines and make certain that the patient is receiving what he is supposed to. It can be challenging, specially if the patient is critical, or, if you are dealing with a newborn infant. ASide from life support and oxygen, we provide many different types of therapy for diseases that involve the lungs, or even neuromuscular diseases. Hope that gives you a proper perspective.

I manage an after school program for an at risk school, on a State grant, to be able to service 30% of the school's students. We supply all of their academic extras, school team and p.e. sports, leadership, arts, enrichment, and recreation programs......for Kindergarten through 6th grade.

The more I learn about my fellow forumites, the more respect I have for them.

That can be such a thankless job at times, I'm sure. I'm glad to know that someone with such a good heart is doing it and trying to make a difference.

It does indeed my friend. So does that mean if I had a pain in my chest that you would massage it ?

Lawmaker: Let's Cut Welfare When Kids Get Bad Grades
Jan 28, 2013
(Newser) – Tough news for Tennessee parents on welfare: Republican state Sen. Stacey Campfield introduced legislation last week that would slash welfare benefits for parents whose kids get crummy grades, Fox News reports. Critics call it an unfair proposal that will ultimately hurt children, but Campfield says the bill will inspire parents to do a better job. "We’re not asking children to re-write the Magna Carta," he said. "A D-minus gets you through."
But Senate Democratic Leader Jim Kyle says a grades-for-welfare plan would "stack the deck against at-risk children," pressuring them to study "when there is no food on the dinner table." The state already cuts benefits by 20% for parents whose kids don't go to school; Campfield's bill would raise that to 30%. Campfield said his proposal would "break the cycle of poverty," but a state youth official tells the Knoxville News Sentinel that a single mom with two kids receives just $185 a month, and "that's already low."
