time to garden if you want to eat...

This article is a warning.... we are in for tough times (I'm very aware having to deal with healthcare) and we all need to think about growing and preserving our own food... even of you live in the city, you can grow some items that will supplement your diet. BTW.. I have quite a lot of items because I used to garden (and I will do it this year), including the yard tools, dehydrators, and canning jars, rings, and lids... I have a pressure canner, a water bath canner, and vacuum sealing equipment. I just have to make the time...

Eric Cantor wants to kill Social Security

Seems the Republicans have on their agenda the ending of Social Security for those under 55 years of age.... they are destroying the progress of the last century, and just what are people 54 going to do to have a retirement by the time they are in their 60's?  Of course there is no mention of where the money already paid into the program will go... but the real reason for all this wanting to get rid of social security is that the funds that made up the surplus when the economy was going strong was used to fund wars, and other non social security related items... they robbed the bank and don't want to pay it back.
