So yesterday I feel like I got a lot done but at the same time I don't feel like I got enough done and definitely not everything I would have liked to get done. I also really hate that feeling... it's like pride with a punch in the face.
I see people post things about the democratic party and how they aren't pro-choice BUT most of them are men. Men don't have to go nor do they have to pay for a yearly check up. Anything done by a doctor is expensive and I know I wouldn't have the money for a yearly check up every year especially now that I have two children and will one day have to pay for my daughter to start and keep up on her annual check ups as well. Also I think men should really think about whether they would want the government to pay for things such as check ups and birth control for those that can't afford it or would they rather have them having babies they can't afford. The child fatality rate would rise beyond belief and wouldn't even be able to turn to their own government because they don't give hand outs. For one reason or another you can't just legalize abortion and be okay with birth control and everything else planned parenthood does. They do a lot of good and not to mention the fact that they DON'T just say "oh, you'd like an abortion??? Lets set you up with an appointment." They don't work like that. They talk to you about different options to include the different adoption options. They educate you and give you everything you want to help you understand a sickness, illness, or information on anything you want to know. It's pretty close to free schooling.
Don't get me wrong I don't think abortion should be used as a form of birth control. I don't think the government should be giving people handouts like they do either. The government DOES pay for my birth control and check ups and such through medicaide and I DO receive help via WIC. Hell I might even qualify for food stamps, but I am not receiving them so I wouldn't know. I may need the help of the government to go to school, get my children into daycare and school, but I do not consider it free loading from the government. I do think they could lower and require things from people to receive. I have known someone receiving $600 a month in food stamps for him and his two kids yet he was failing to get a job and when he got money from his girlfriend he spent it on pot. I think if you're getting government help you should be drug tested regularly without getting to know when. And $600 in food stamps is a bit ridiculous for one person and two kids under the age of 5. Also another instance is the fact that I remember a time when I worked at a deli and had to save to get some nice steaks and such from there but some guy walks in with his food stamps and gets top choice new york strip steaks, t-bone steaks, porterhouse steaks, and filet mignon for him and his family. Why was I working my ass off to get a nice steak for me and the guy I was dating at the time but this guy had the government paying for his top dollar meals??? Whatever he was making with his food stamps was way too much. I'm not saying people who receive food stamps should get shit to eat but they shouldn't be able to eat like kings if they can't afford it.
Also I am debating on going to school and collecting my GI Bill or whether I should transfer it to my children and if I transfer it to my children can it only be used for college and if so is there a time limit for them to use it. I joined the army young and served 8 1/2 years and my kids are young and even after 10 years they won't be in college.
I still feel like my house is a mess but I have kids and close friends and family that need me today.
Rest In Peace Mrs. Ruby Suza
You will always be missed and loved by many <3
Your GI bill, so long as it is activaed, can be transfered to your children. The ten to 15 year ticking clock starts ONCE you activate your benifits.
ReplyDeleteSo if I have used part of it can it be transfered still??? And does it have to be used for college??? And since I have used part of it via Montgomery can I change it and use the post 9/11??? See all these questions is why I have an appt via to talk about all this... My mom said to wait until Kaitey was at least 2yrs old and for once I think I am going to listen because every other time when I have not she was right and it sucked to be wrong... Lol... So if I listen and she ends up wrong then at least I have someone to blame... It will also be easier to want to put the kids in day care at that time anyway...
ReplyDeleteIf you used part of it, say 3 months then when you transfer in to the post 9-11 GI bill then you only get 33 more months of benefits. If you have used it then the clock starts. So you using part of it, say to get a 2 year and you want the rest to go to one of your children then you can, BUT then they would 1) only get what is left 2) only have the remaining time on the account to use it. So if you use it today then 15 (9-11) 10 (chapter 30) years from now it would expire.
ReplyDeleteBUT if you used it and got a good job then you could just put money away to save for them later
Either GI bill HAS to be used for college
