heating, gasoline, food and just about everything else has gone up double in Ohio. Plus we seem to be one of the states that has the largest unemployment. I know this because my husband is one of them. Sure we get unemployment, but it is less than half of what he was making. Can't afford for him to retire because our funds went down just like everyone elses. I work full time, clean an office building and we are struggling to pay the house payment and bills. If something does not break soon, I am sure we will lose our house. Can't sell, no one is buying around here. The worst parts are that now we get to pay taxes on the unemployment, and forget about giving us food stamps--yet others are getting a "free ride" Sorry, guess I needed to vent a little.
