Drained

I am just completely drained. Completely. I am so tired and emotionally exhausted. I am just so done with the whole adult thing right now. Everyone I know is having financial problems. It's ridiculous. There should always be jobs. There should be a job for every single thing you can think of so everyone could have a job. There should be enough money to go around. Everyone should have enough money to put a roof over their head and feed and clothe their kids. They should have enough money to not have to worry about rent and bills and food and clothes and shampoo and cooking supplies and every other blessed thing under the sun. We should all have insurance. No matter what. No matter how many preexisting conditions we have, or how much money we make, or anything. NO MATTER WHAT! we shouldn't have to worry about whether or not some of us make just $100 over the income restrictions for WIC or Medicaid or Food Stamps. We shouldn't have to have those things. We should all be able to take care of ourselves. We shouldn't have to worry about whether or not we have the money to cover medical bills and dental bills and whatever other bills we have. We should be able to go see a damn doctor without having to figure out where we're going to take the money out of to pay for it. We should be able to go to the dentist to get a tooth fixed instead of just chewing on the other side. We should be able to go to the doctor for back pain instead of just sitting at home and hoping the pain will go away. We should be able to go pick up prescriptions without having to pay an arm and a leg for them. We should NOT have to worry about whether or not we will be able to send our kids to college or on a mission. We should NOT have to worry about whether or not we can afford gas this month. We should NOT have to worry about getting evicted because we can't pay the rent. We should not have to worry about a lot of things...but we do. Land of the free my ass.
