PS.  No I am not mad at you, and YES, I understand what you were trying to say, but NO it just isn't 100% true and that is all I was saying.

Roma, my husband is under government contract for testing.  He and the think tank he worked for designed and installed the navigation systems on the Ohio class submarines.  He is spending this week (and actually when he gets done, it will be roughly 3 weeks total) down in Cape Canaveral by himself (the other folks were cut because his highness cut the money to provide the support),  and because the money was cut for testing, my hubby worked alone.  You will not understand what that means, so let me explain what it means.  It means that my 72 year old husband will work long hard hours helping to teach a group of people how to do what needs to be done (and taking phone calls at all hours of the day and night when he isn't on site), so that the submarine that goes out comes back in again safely along with the crew of men sent out with it.  I understand that Mr. Obama couldn't care less, but after being on submarines and working on submarines since my husband was in his 20s, he cares.  He had a set of orders to the Thresher and the man he was to replace said he would take the patrol instead of letting my husband come on board for it and then, Donald could take over after the patrol.............they never came back.  My husband has actually refused to let a boat leave when they have tried to cut things or have not done something the right way.  Please don't try to give a large blanket to what you are talking about because many things can't fit under your blanket.  You know about some things and can speak about them, but you don't know everything there is to know about government contracters, what they do, or what they are responsible for and should never try to make it sound like they all are cut from the same cloth.  They aren't.

It should not be happening John...............and this president is handing out welfare to those who sat on the butts on a couch instead of looking for a job, but this fine young man sleeps in his car?   Something is wrong with that picture.
