My Mom too, Dad is 71 and is at work everyday from 9 am - to whenever he wants to close up and go home, His business has so effected in the last 3-4 years and he isn't making any money so I help them as much as I can, plus my daughter lost her job at Abbott Labs due to outsourcing and I am trying to help her too.

She has worked since she was 16 and is now 27, and she just cannot believe that even with her degree in Dietetics, that she cannot find a job in Columbus! I have given up all I possibly can to help them & I may have to get another job that pays under the table to be able to help My parents a little more if she doesn't get her S.S. check. My mom is the only person I know that squeeze $1 out of a dime and my daughter is also fantastic at budgeting her money so if this happens Ovomit knows he is going to cause a huge uproar and I believe that is EXACTLY what he is pushing for...it's as obvious as him looking just like "George The Monkey!"...and that's pretty obvious.

Wishing you're Mother all the best in these sad times. It's a shame they have worked like humped old dogs their entire lives and paid into the system and THIS is how they are treated...Makes my blood boil.
