Deputy shooting

A Volusia County sheriff's deputy late Sunday night shot and injured a shotgun-wielding man accused of dousing his wife with gasoline, according to authorities. He shot Joshua Gerard, 30, in the stomach and elbow following a domestic dispute. According to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, Gerard's wife returned home with their two children about 9:35 p.m. and found Gerard in an agitated state. Deputies said he had trashed the house and began dousing his wife with gasoline. She took the children and ran to a neighbor's house, deputies said.When Mejias arrived at the home, Gerard was in the driveway with a shotgun, according to the Sheriff's Office. "He did tell him to drop the gun at which time the individual pointed the gun at our sergeant, and he shot him," Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson said.

I don't understand people, if your are having a fight can't people just get over the problem and move on. people shouldn't be be dousing their wives in gasoline over some problem. then for this guy to go and point a shotgun at a sheriff deputy is just a little to much. I would have just killed the guy and solved the problem for him.

Putting welfare to work.

there are more single mothers working, and child support collections have increased. the highest percentages of people in deep poverty since the government began tracking in 1975. in 1996 about 2.5 million people left the welfare program. by having a Market-Based Economy, when people would buy goods such as food the price of that food would go up, so with families in poverty they could only buy the foods that wasn't in high demand. along with this there are more and more poverty families that are being able to find work, most of it full-time jobs. by adding the Aid to Families with Dependent Children families were able to get money for there children when the families have little or no income. it has become easier for low skilled people to find jobs and along with this there need to be childhood programs for the kids will less advantages that are tied to money.

i feel that the government need to do something about the poverty. we cannot have America stay a superpower if we have less and less people to fill the shoes of the people leaving. every child should be able to have the same opportunity as the person that so much money they don't even know what to do with it. i feel that just because you don't have as much money as the person next to you, you should have every chance to pick the job you want.
