10. He does belong in prison-he's just a bad person

I have to tell you, I won't need (hopefully) the assistance of any programs, but it's been chilly the last few nights and I just had the discussion with my wife this morning about having to adjust our budget for the coming oil deliveries were going to need. The heat WILL have to go on sometime in the next month. We're just getting by now and its probably going to be a rough winter. This is a very high cost of living state. This asshole thinks his presidential ambitions are more important than the people he's sworn to serve.

Even his own toney home town has people struggling just to get by. I wish I believed in hell because I know there would be a place (maybe not enough room) for him there. I'll have to be content with believing that what goes 'round comes 'round.

How many in your town are struggling to make ends meet?

A new report from the United Way of Northern New Jersey shows that 38 percent of state households are struggling to meet basic needs with the high cost of living in the Garden State.

The report, called ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed), paints a stark picture of how widespread financial hardship like Ticehurst’s is in New Jersey.

Though New Jersey is one of the wealthiest states in the country, it also costs more to like here than most parts of the United States.

While 11 percent of state residents fall below the Federal Poverty Line, which stands at an annual income of $22,811 for a family of four, the report found that when adjusted for cost of living the same family needs nearly triple that -- $61,200 – just to meet a basic survival budget.
