Here's an idea. There are people who jump up my ass about condemning the very source of my financial abilities. Social Security, as well as the Montgomery Trust etc. But on the subject of Social Security, I had this idea, what if without killing a forest for the paper to do it, but what if the USA Government came to all on low income Social Security and said, "Hey we know your having a tuff time making it, here is a grant of say $200,000.00 go and create a company or business. We will give this to you, if in 5 years or less the business makes it you agree to get off Social Security." I'd jump at that in a New York minute. Obamabeenlyintoya bailed out I don't know how many big companies last year from AIG to GM . But what about the single or near single rural or just a person trying to squeeeze out something to enhance the mere earnings of SSI? The days of $300.00 a month shops as in my case are gone. Anything worth calling a shop is going to be in the $550.00 to $2,500.00 a month range, plus tools and equipment, is going to mean YOU rake out at minimum $20,000.00 before you even make a cent in profit. Yes there are SBA loans and so on, and if your lucky you might find someone who knows how to write a USA Grant application, but for the few of us not so gifted, a way to crawl out from under a very hard rut might be a better way to save the USA(CSA) from total ruin. Yes there are those saying the bad times are over, Hoggsbreath. The squealers are still squealing. We never saw a change just more of the same crap, and we are sinking in this quicksand faster than Enos getting hitched to Daisy. We need a real plan. 2010 is albeit not national , but a local election season. Many issues need to be in front of voters, I say we need this kind of plan out there floating. I urge you to pass this blawg of mine onto everyone you know. Even to a few politicians that might get it in their heads that many on SSI etc don't want to be, we are there for basic survival. This is not living, its hindering real recovery. Putting people like me back to work in our own business's making our own money, paying taxes and creating jobs for others through our small business's is the way to fix this mess.
Just some Hazzard County Wizzdum.
