I used that date because i figured all the things both companies had to do for merger completion would be Dec 9. At least thats what the company and the media is saying. I figured it was a safe date to use. He just said that Jan 1 was a good choice. ( My choice not his)usa1 said:
At least they get up early and go to a job everyday. Half the country has babies for a living. They enjoy a thousand dollars per child per month, subsidized housing, food stamps, free cell phones and healthcare. Those of us who work out tails off for 30 pulse years can't even get what we've honestly earned.Real tired said:
Just wondering where you're getting this numbers from... Source?usa1 said:
As soon as the merger closes in just over a week, US Airways and American Airlines will both be wholly-owned subsidiaries of the new parent company. Your employer will still be US AIrways. And your employer will remain US Airways until the airlines are actually combined. That might be a year or more away.usa1 said:
This is total BS. AFDC--Aid to Families with Dependent Children--aka, cash welfare pays less than $200/mo per child--I suggest you try raising a child on that. Yes, the family does get Food Stamps, but they have to pay something for them out of the AFDC allotment. Very few people get food stamps for free. The free cell phones is news to me. Exactly which program is providing this? I'm afraid you're going to have to be specific. Google produces nothing even approaching this. So, you are evidently privy to secret information that even the Internet does not have. Or, is this another Tea Party myth designed to anger people who don't have the mental wherewithal to confirm such baloney before believing it?usa1 said:
That article mentioned nothing about $1000/mo/child. Have you read the article? The study from Cato that they cite includes an 'all in' figure- which most families do not qualify for. If you think people on welfare are livin' it up, then what's stopping you? Sounds like it would make financial sense...usa1 said:
