What was your career?

I held many jobs, telephone operator, answering service, babysitter, realtor, car dealership, etc. etc. I had jobs while we moved from place to place. I never said I had a "career". Mom was the most important of all the jobs.

Geez, what if they have dependants? Nothing?

It specifies if they DON'T have dependants. I'm sure those with dependants can stay on it.

I think most of the subsidies are given to Corporate farmers.

My Mother was a phone operator for Ma Bell in the 50's through the 70's. Back when they sat at a switchboard with a hundred cords to connect. She liked the day shift but hated the night and split shifts. We were one of the few families at that time with both parents working. Us boys raised ourselves for the most part. (we didn't do a very good job of it).

You mean forcing people to get jobs that weren't available was impractical?

My daughter is in for a rude awakening when I retire. She's going to have to pay for her health insurance.
