Since folks seem to need an Econ 101 lession, here it
it:
ECONOMISTS, chief executives and Washington policy
makers have hailed the weakened dollar as good news
for the United States. After all, when the dollar
loses value against the euro or the British pound, for
instance, it should make American-made goods cost less
in markets that use those currencies. Cheaper prices
should stimulate bigger orders for American companies,
especially those in the hard-hit manufacturing sector.
And, as manufacturers exhaust their ability to produce
more goods without adding labor, the pace of job
creation should accelerate

I glad you have 2 hand & can support you family also. 
If you don't, that mean I have to.  Thet are not my
family.  Beside, I hope they are helping you.  They
all have 2 hands also.  Don't know why you would work
odd job; McDonald is always hiring.  Your wife & kids
should have all had jobs, you work & you would have
been better for it.  Face it, you took the easy way
out.  Got on food stamps & waited for someone to give
you a job that you thought wasn't beneight you to do. 
Lot of people do this.  

Not one time in my entire life of any of my family
life did we ever get on food stamps or any other
welfare program.  Time have been hard a few time in my
life.  But I don't let the other tax payers support
me.  Remember, when you are taking money from the
govenment on one of it welfare program - you are NOT
supporting yourself.  People like me are supporting
you.  I'm not rich by any mean - BUT I ALWAYS SUPPORT
MYSELF.

PS- Aren't Medicare taxes taken out of every paycheck.
 Incase you don't know the answer; they are.  Even
though the fact that this is true - People should plan
for retirement and not leave it up to the government
to take care of them.  Whats wrong with most liberals
is that they spend every dine they get thier hands on,
got to have all the new toys today, NEVER plan for
tomorrow.  Then when it time for retirement; they
expect the other tax payers to support them.  And what
did they do to help themselves; nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
