In a community column for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, generic cialis medicine Jennifer Fink bemoaned the fact that her Social Security check will be smaller than her husband’s because she stayed home to raise her kids:
Yet if a parent decides to put in the time and effort and works at raising fine, cialis canada decent people instead of raising the gross domestic product, she or he is penalized. Never mind the paychecks she willingly forgoes; the years spent care-giving will negatively affect her future retirement because raising kids doesn’t count in the eyes of the Social Security Administration.
But she misses the point. Social Security is a return on funds that were withheld from an individual’s paycheck.
If you have no paycheck, you pay no social security and are therefore not entitled to receive any money back.
By staying home with her kids, Ms. Fink avoided paying thousands of dollars every year on childcare.
She tries to use the fact that other people would have made money for watching her kids as an argument for why SHE should be compensated for the value of her work.
But if I do my own roof and save $10,000, that money isn’t income…it’s money I get to keep.
I’m not sure why Ms. Fink thinks she should be able to save money and then also earn social security on the money she saved.

Within three days, generic cialis thumb Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane will have a post or article about the 16-year-old girl shot by someone in a passing vehicle near Addison, Wisconsin.
He’ll point out that no one is ranting about how the shooting is proof of a “cornfield culture” that encourages such actions unlike the criticism of inner-city culture that appears in the media and in the Cheddarsphere every time a black kid is gunned down in Milwaukee.
As usual, he’ll be right…and yet wrong at the same time.
Yes, no one uses crimes like this senseless shooting or the rampage by the rural cop last year as fodder for a discussion of the failures of white rural culture.
But the occasional existence of such crimes in no way balances or is the equivalent to the unacceptably high level of shootings in Milwaukee’s inner city.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane agrees with Obama that backwards attitudes flow from small town America:
Frankly, discount viagra search if it weren’t for the kind of people in small towns in Wisconsin who love guns, viagra pills hate gay marriage, scapegoat illegal immigrants and promote a segregated way of life, there are plenty of politicians who would never get elected around these parts.
Amen, Mr. Kane, and I’d like to add that if it weren’t for the kind of people who live in Milwaukee and Madison and think a person’s race should matter when getting jobs or getting into schools (affirmative action), who hate the idea of people being able to defend themselves (gun control), and love the idea of a few judges overturning the will of the people regardless of the text of State and Federal Constitutions, there are plenty of other politicians who would never get elected around these parts.
