Dear Lord
I don't know why I'm watching the presidential debate as I am Canadian but I have to say, if America votes this Romney guy in I'm moving to the Yukon. As far north as possible as I can get before I end up in Alaska

I know just how you feel when you say you are frustrated pouring money into a failing economy. My brother is in college right now. I graduated last year after going straight through getting my Bachelors and Masters degrees. Despite all of my education (as a teacher ironically) I cannot find a job to save my life. When I did my student teacher internship, the school I was working at actually fired two dozen teachers. Yet here I am handing the principal my resume and crossing my fingers. Now, I'm 26 and living at home because my only income is social security (I've been disabled since birth) which doesn't amount to much. The minute it goes into my checking account, it's gone - paying my car insurance and car payment. On a car, mind you, that I can't even drive because I don't have the $15,000 it costs to adapt the car so I can drive it! And this check doesn't even touch the tens of thousands of dollars in school loans I have to pay. What makes me laugh is that the organization in my state that is supposed to help individuals with disabilities find employment can't find me a job either! Then when you have to turn around and watch your parents remortgage their house in order to pay for medication your mom needs to survive breast cancer you can't help but think one thing - there's a problem here! At this point I just want something different. What we've been doing is not working. We need help. Big time.
