In a small ranching community in the west there lived a man, his wife and four children. They were no different than their neighbors, they ran cows, built fence and did their part to keep their little town alive.

Commenter: LynnI graduated with a Master’s degree in 1996. Unfortunately, I was not able to secure a position with enough income to make payments on my student loan. Unemployment for myself, my husband,and two children to feed left us with no money to pay some necessities, much less payments on the loans. Of course, I couldn’t get any relief from the student loans…no way to discharge them in bankruptcy. Twelve years later, I am finally in a position to try and reduce this debt. The principal has increased from approx. $46,000 to more than $96,000. I initially began making payments equal to 15% of my income. This decreased the principal by about $3.00 per month. However, it did not leave me enough to maintain myself. I have renegotiated my payment with the Department of Education, now paying approx. one-third of the original 15% payment. I haven’t gotten the paperwork yet to determine how much, if any, of my payment will be put toward the principal which is now $96,000 plus. As a side note, I am 56 years old and will probably not work long enough to retire this debt. Since it cannot be discharged, I will never own a home or be able to get credit for any major purchases. The loan payment amount is renegotiated regularly, and any increase in my income will mean an increase in my payments on the student loan. There is no end in sight,and no future for anything but debt.

Sulphuric acid is very aggressive to stainless steels, as it interferes with the formation of the passive surface film. 445M2 has about 1/5 the corrosion rate of 316 in low concentrations of sulphuric acid at elevated temperatures.

•         445M2 can be spot or seam resistance welded. Post heat treatment of the weld is not required.

Democrats voted against the last tax cut bill because (they claimed) it disproportionately favored higher income households. But they vote for electric vehicle tax credits.

The uneven curvature of my coccyx was caused by spending upwards of a year lying on my back, in bed, as a child. My spine grew, of course, as would that of any eight-year-old, but it grew crooked, from the pressure of the mattress beneath. I’d contracted encephalitis and the virus was eating away at my brain, a maggot through an apple, making lacework of the neural pathways. Most of the lasting neurological damage was done to my cerebellum, that part of the brain involved in movement and coordination, but the virus also dismantled many of the neuromuscular junctions in my spine and pelvis. Muscles in my back and upper legs were left much weakened and foreshortened.
