This article is an attempt to help those in need.  Sadly it really doesn't add anything new.  There is a greater issue here.  If you placed your faith and career in one company and now that company no longer has a job or pension for you, whose fault is it?  Why didn't you save and invest like millions of Americans.  Su...more

Consider substitute teaching as a supp;ement to your income.

I am a native Detroiter, who grew up in the vicinity of Davison and Linwood.  The UAW did not design, market or sell cars.  When the Big Three had great cars to sell, the cars sold.  The F 150 and Chrysler's minivans are two examples.  And Detroit's greatest years were years when a working man could buy a house, car an...more

Interesting isn't that when the US auto industry produced cars that consumers wanted, such as the F 150 amd minivans, they did "just fine".  The UAW did not design cars, set gas mileage or anything else.  They did what they were told to do...produce cars that few wanted.    Romney will  be the next President and do...more
