With the fact that he doesn't support government subsidies for the company I work for, if they are in fact to end, I lose my job. Bush wants them to end.Glenn said:Huh? So it is a fact that President Bush is going to fire you? Or he is going to eliminate your job?
The United States is one of, if not the only, modernized nation in the world that doesn't fully subsidize its public transportation. I've been to third world countries that have better public transportation (trains) than we do. Pretty sad!
Just so you know, I'm a long haul locomotive engineer for Amtrak (hence the screen-name and avatar). I've worked hard and put in my time to get to where I'm at. I could bounce back too, but it would mean a great step back to the very bottom. I'm getting a little old to be starting over.Glenn said:I feel for anybody losing their job, I have been there. I lost mine after 9/11 due to politicians. However, they were local to me, and I knew them and was there when they made the decision. They were also Democrats.
I could have focused on that, but I moved on. Was it fun? No, not at first. But I bounced back and moved on.
