I ever a solution for the economy, since, it has effected me personally. I 'vie lost my job, lost my health benefits, lost my home, and seeing myself on the verge of getting evicted from my rented apartment - because no one wants to hire me but for $15-$20 hour part time jobs. Here is my proposal - DO IT!!!!   1) Get rid of the Halliburton contract - to the victors go the spoils. This would release $7 billion a month. 2)  Get rid of the Blackstone security contract - this would save us $2  billion a month. 3) Reverse the pork that you both voted for and included in the $700 billion bailout contract. Who in their right mind would include $1 million for rum and cigars. Don't you get it - the pork days of buying votes are over. Look at the Chicago governor and his bloated ego and mentality. 4) Stop immediately and apply pressure to all the fed and state programs that are useless. Lt. Gov Bystander quietly opened all the oversea California tourist sites after they were closed in the previous sessions. What - are all California citizens that blind to let this happen again? 5) Right now any illegal immigrant can come to our country and apply and receive social security benefits for their ailments and old age. Why can't we deduct these benefits from all the foreign aid we give these countries. Social security was originally intended to be as a temporary benefit. 6) The current California budget is in serious jeopardy. Yet our infamous legislators cannot open their eyes and get rid of bloated commissions or boards  that do nothing but pay their cronies for the monies they received in the form of contributions. (to the spoils go the benefits) 7) Every school district has multiple layers of principals that do nothing but just delegate other duties to some other principal. Get these lazy bureaucrats of their $100,000 salaries and institute a policy where these individuals assist in the classroom instructions. 8) Every medicare and Medi-cal program has so many flaws in the way money is given. You can have a drug habit, and get monies from so many sources without any recourse or payback. Try getting disability after not worked for the past three years of working after have worked your whole life and you'll get laughed out the building. Where are the reviews and paper trails to qualify individuals? Obviously someone knows how to properly evade the requirements. 9) When Katrina hit all the New Orleans undesirables were transported out and kept out. These individuals will never be allowed back, or worse yet, have their neighborhoods restored. But look what happened when Massachusetts was flooded - Uncle sam was there in a flash. 10) We give out so much foreign aid. Why not suspend these amounts and use it to get our stagnant economy back on its feet. Do you see any of these countries offering to help us out? Yea right. 11) I have never asked for a handout of any type. I have always had  a job to support my lifestyle. It gets very depressing to see all my hopes and dreams flash in front of my eyes and slowly start to disappear. I can't even get unemployment, because i worked as a contractor the past year. By the time you read this I will probably be on the verge of living a life of homelessness. I cannot even qualify for any kind of aid - health, employment, utilities assistance, rent assistance. Why you ask - because i made to much income (above the poverty level to qualify).

YES i made a middle class income!!!!  I've worked my whole life, including through college, yet have nothing to show for this, except look at life pass me by.  You don't care..Never will.. As long as our pay for play continues...All i want is a JOB..Is that to much to ask???????????????   A disillusioned, disgusted, soon to be homeless American citizen.
