This will stir up the pot. I will start with saying I just turned 31, married with 4 kids oldest is 7. 7 years ago I started working with pigs. Until a year ago I make enough to support my family not much more. So, my wife had to take part time job in the evening so I could retire my 89 1 ton ( 460 engine) and pay for a vehicle and gas. The work ethic are in a some younger people.

Look at role models you have 2 parents that work so kids are in daycare being raised by someone else, because mom and dad are chasing the the almighty dollar. They sat in front of the tv with bevis and butthead , sponge bob, simpsons and so one. At school the have old teachers that are not up with the real world, just getting there pay checks because the have the union saying no you have to keep them. School counselor's that tell kids they need a 4 year degree to be able to get a job, and trade school??? no no no that is for the dumb kids that are to lazy to go to college. When trade school you can learn a good trade and always have a good choice of jobs. College the kids go so far into debt for the next 20 to 30 years for what. They need to start out at the top just to pay for everything.

Who knows maybe the baby boomers wanted to think of there kids as kids, not just as labor on the family farm. Maybe that is why there kids are a little less ambitious than those who had to work on the farm.

Good fix is let the government help those who need it when they are out of work. After a month of hand outs quit, there is no reason someone could not find a job it that amount of time.

Lend a helping hand to pick someone up not hold them up.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
