Labor Day isn’t quite as celebratory a holiday when the unemployment rate is at 10%. It also doesn’t help that the social safety net which should be in place is instead torn and frayed and not adequate to the pressing demands of families scrambling to make ends meet in a recessionary economy. And while I’m at it, why in the hell is our military budget basically as big as all the other military budgets combined? Couldn’t we shave-off a few of those billions of dollars and make them available for slightly more important social needs? Ok, enough ranting. If you’ve got a job, raise a glass and be thankful – and buy your friend who doesn’t have a job a cold beer, or two, or twelve. Ronnie Van Zant can tell you about paying dues and watching where his money goes.
