May be time to bring this back for youth unemployment.

going out on a limb here! Maybe we should look at how people do things, in real life: a.  when the cost of repairs to our old clunker car is consistently exceeding the price of  a car payment for a new or gently used one.  and b.  as a novice or semi-skilled handyman it is easier to work...

Thank God for their assistance! It is kinda embarassing we are always the poor cousin relying on Big Brother. Maybe time to be realistic on our capabilities. We are a great military just crap equipment. God bless the people who make it work and prayers for this dangerous situation to end.
