If you are feeling some of the economic pains from the current crisis, have no fear – government is here! Today they launched a special guide for getting through these “tough financial times” through the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) website.

I don’t want to make light of the situation out there, but this site is a joke. Yes, we are in a recession. People are losing their homes, jobs, and savings. People are struggling to make ends meet and are fearful of the near future. Do we really need a website telling us this? More importantly, what is this website actually telling us? Personally, I don’t need government to cope with my issues, especially when I think that they are a main source of the problem. It’s like turning to a crack dealer when you want help with your addiction.

Sorry for getting more political than usual but realize I kept my rant brief.
