My name is Cody O'Connor. I'm your resident libertarian blogger and Internet Radio Host. I've been blogging for almost 2 years now so I have much experience with politics, writing, and the internet. Over said two years I have gone from a nutjob neocon to a libertarian, and I'm hoping with my help, you Conservatives out there can do the same. If you enjoy my columns, then you definetly want to check out my radio show (or the podcast if you can't listen live). Even if you're not a libertarian, you should find it enjoyable. I spend more time trying to make you laugh than believe what I believe. Go do an iTunes search on libertarian podcasts and put these things on your ipod, the show's a blast and if you're not listening you're missing out.
I have a question for you Cody. Let's do make believe. Your favorite (only living relative)aunt lost her job because of out-sourcing. She has no savings because a medical problem sucked her dry, and had been living from week to week. You are her only living relative, just barely making ends meet yourself. Because of her medical issues there are not many jobs she can do, none withing 200 miles of where she has lived her whole life. What would you suggest she do?
HI Cody, She doesn't need a GED, she has her Masters degree. We were just playing, "make believe" But there are a lot of small towns, especially in Northern Maine that traveling 200 miles to find a "fitting" job is possible. Especially if you add, medical problems. Keep up the good work, but keep an open mind.

Go on trial welfare untill she could figure out how she could help herself.

Thank you for your answer Cody. Now what welfare do you think she should quailify for?

I think If the government could relocate her to a place where she could get a job, then she could support herself sooner and get back on track.

So you are saying she should move away from her only living family, you?

If it meant getting her a job. But it sounds pretty unrealistic to me that there would be none closer than 200 miles. Extreamly unrealistic.
And if they wouldn't take her for a job because of education she could go for her GED, right.
There are tons of different solutions.
