  2. Hi Mommy!

    I can't believe they would not accept help from the government! Especially when so many states are cutting vital services in order to afford them! Cutting down on police/fire/rescue wages as well as teachers, road workers, government employees, etc. has been done... So when someone offers to help them out of this mess, WHY SAY NO???? Yeah, it'll have to be paid back over time, but it gets paid back later after the economy has picked up a bit... Idiots....

    It's the pride of the Republicans and others motivated politically, but to me that's cutting of your nose to spite your face... It's ridiculous...

    People need a wake up call...

    Love you MUCH MUCH!
