Im in the same boat except im just out of college, and between student loans, rent, etc I have very little money to spend and no health insurance. I didnt bother voting but if I was going to it wouldve been for McCain. No matter how bad things get id feel like garbage if I ever took a government handout. I had the option to postpone paying my student loans under some new government program until i was more on my feet but said no. Enough people out there taking handouts id rather be a part of the solution than the problem.
