I was glad to get a rebate especailly when you have to pay 33% of your income for taxes. My husband and I had to pay taxes this year as we have very little debt and little write offs. As for jobs we need nurses.The average age of a nurse today is 45.There will not be enough to take care of the next generation.If any of you are worried about work, nursing and associated fields are where the jobs will be. Or maybe teaching?There is a shortage of teachers in many communities. However niether profession pays large money until you have been at it for 20 years. As for resources,please there is too much hype. We need to be thoughtful but goverment wants to run our lives so they are twisting satastics to support greenhouse and lack of resources.Socail security has some problems but these would not be so bad if aliens from other countries,people who never worked( not including moms who stay home to raise children)did not draw on socail secuity it would not be in trouble. As for Bush I've been content with his performance he came into the start of a slowing economy and a large amount of distrust of the White House and the scandal attaached to it.Be patient things should settle and improve.dcmamanus
