I don't particularly think these two subjects are connected, but these are two topics I want to address today, and we'll just see where this blog goes.
President Obama wants to make education more available to those that are on unemployment, as in going to school, not looking for work, and not losing their unemployment checks. What the article told me in reading about his plan is this: the jobs from which many have become "unemployed" are not coming back, so it's time for retraining. This plan would interconnect compensation with education, and divert the attention from the fact that employment opportunities are simply not available, so our President is ready to pay people to go to school.
Now, that's one issue.
The next one is slightly frightening and also an indication of the lack of hope. I thought "hope" was what we the people voted FOR! I've been following the availability of ammunition for certain guns. I don't think there will be tighter gun laws or prohibition of the 2nd amendment. Have all the guns you want, there just won't be any bullets . . . I have also noticed as people are speaking of guns and firearms, there is no lack of 30-30 ammo or 30-06, and for the most part shotgun shells remain available. The lack is in .380 and 38 Special ammo, which are hand guns and revolvers. It seems while everyone is talking about living off the land and surviving off of nature, if it "comes down to that," the ammo to hunt is not being stockpiled and remains readily available on the store shelves, while the ammo to "stop people" is what is in short supply.
So, in all this hope, why is there a shortage of ammo for guns that don't kill dinner, but rather, guns that kill people?
