I know how you feel... My two oldest sons graduated High School in the past 2 years and I can't afford to send either of them to college. So it's student loans or get into the work force for them.

It's difficult in the extreme to be a parent and not be able to properly provide for your family. I work almost 80 hours a week, yet I still can't make ends meet. It's demoralizing, especially when you see these asshole politicians complaining about raising the minimum wage and about providing affordable health care while they give away the store to corporations and banks, prepping the economy for another disaster...

And the Democrats are only a hair better, at least they want to throw us a bone while they take care of the elite.
