Reply #7: My case

[KayLaw]

I can't work because I have a severly disabled child. I earn a little on CD interest that, when Clinton was president, was a lot more than a little. My husband works for the state and won't get a raise because of cutbacks and actually makes less now because of insurance premiums. He helps people with their computers on the side but that business has almost completely dried up because most of his clients are retirees and they have to cut back because they rely on CD interest. I'm not complaining but that's just the way it goes and the reason we've have to slash our spending so dramatically under Bush. We refuse to refinance our house just to have money to blow. In turn, I'm sure this hurts the businesses to whom we used to give our money.
