Lost Jobs

I am going to be without a job at the end of the month, and it is directly the result of the economy.

It has been a tough couple of years for churches (I work at a church) anyway, the loss of revenue that has occurred because of so many losing jobs, having to move away for other jobs. But our church had managed to pull through, then the state of California went bankrupt. All non-essential services were cut, and that included state funded preschools.

One of the major ways that our church has received funds for the last couple of years is from our leasing a portion of our facility to a Head Start preschool during the week. So, long story short, our church will be fine, but we are having to cut all of our running costs dramatically, and I and some of the janitorial staff were the most expendable.

It is a little humorous to me that the more politically conservative among our church members moan and groan about how much money the government was giving to "those people, and those programs" but we were benefiting directly from them. And now, it is hurting us because funding is being cut to "those people and programs," and they want to cry about that... Ironic.

Can't have it both ways!

Oh, you haven't heard? Liberals cause every single problem that exists in America. I'm surprised you didn't know!
