They've had plenty of time

FMH has certainly had enough time to check out the facts relating to Dana Morse's complaints: that they still have nothing to say effectively tells us that Ms. Morse is right. It's pathetic that our local hospital here in Franklin County can't do better than this.

Got a solution?

Its alot easier to sit here and criticize the Gov. as we have all the govenors but I haven't seen anyone coming up with a plan of their own. Where have all the jobs gone? No one can support a family working at a fast food place. If a company wants to open a branch in other countries that is not a problem but when the whole manufacturing jobs go for cheap labor and no enviromental issues to deal with its a no brainer unless they would be told that if they do that the tariff onto bringing it back to the US will be substantial. Someone in Wash. is lining their pockets and there is no question about that. NO person that becomes President is gonna have the power to do anything as the power is in Congress and time to wake up to that fact. Whether its Obama or who it is they can't do ANYTHING if Congress won't do it. As soon as they get into office they are raising money for their re-elections and have to cause it costs billions to run and those that give are expecting something in return and getting it at our expense. This economy has been bad through several Presidents and if we ain't handing it out here we are sending it overseas and if you want a can of mandarin oranges it will come from China like most everything else you buy. Something wrong with that picture. My job went to Mexico and now I am expected to help support them among whoever else wants to come here and the reason they come is we take better care of them then we do our own.

Unfortunate

It is true that alot of cuts need to be made to get this state back to somewheres near where it should be but here like in Wash. it seems the only cuts to be made are on the backs of the poor people. That said there is alot of money being paid out for girls having one baby after another with no means of support and the fathers of these babies with no job, no education and a dim future. Paying money out to those that just use the system as a way of life prevents the help for people that through no fault of their own are going through tough times. Its hard for anyone to find a job when this country is allowing all the manufacturing jobs to go overseas for cheap labor and big profits for themselves. Maybe instead of starting at the bottom to find the problem with why everything costs so much they should start at the top. Room and board for a day at a hospital is as much as a trip around the world. They cut medical staff to the bare minimum and keep adding on to these hospitals. They will drowned you with paperwork to have the least thing done and more laypeople working there then medical it seems. Time to start at the bottom and follow the trail back to the top and will prolly lead you to the fatcats in Wash. whose lifestyle does not seem to change with the economy at all. This country is supporting far to many people no matter the reason. At home your paycheck must go around or you don't buy something. Its time to put up the gate and say "we are filled up"
