Catch 22

I saw this article today as I was cruising the news sites: http://www.nypost.com/seven/06142009/business/us_debt_is_at_1m_per_family_174238.htm

Since the national debt is now at roughly $250,000 a head (if this guy is right), then I'm completely screwed. I only make $10,000/year right now, and I don't even qualify for d**n food stamps (yeah - there's a minimum hours requirement).

I'm already pissed about the food stamp thing - if I was getting 20 hours a week, I wouldn't need to apply for them, but right now I'm getting an average of like 14. I guess it's time to start looking for another job, but there really aren't any in my area right now that don't require a 4-year degree (which I'm working on).

A note to the Federal Government: if I can't even afford food, how in the hell am I going to be able to pay "my end" of that trillion-dollar debt? The powers that be need to definitely get responsible. I don't mind being poor, but I have an intense dislike of anyone trying to screw me over before I even have a chance to get started. If anyone in the government isn't completely corrupt or incompetent, please work on getting those in power to behave a bit more responsibly.

Thank you.
