(Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Nov. 17, 1995, 846), arguing that the current
welfare system is just "hand outs".

Social Security
Number of Words: 770 / Number of Pages: 3
... provide us with a monthly check at this point. What we do not realize,
however, is that this amount is not intended to be used as our sole source of
income.
Unfortunately, the tragic irony is that many of us reach retirement and
realize too late how impossible it would be to live by no other means except
social security. The reality is, that the program is but one benefit, one
addition, and one financial supplement. Its intent is to be combined with other

Number of Words: 1078 / Number of Pages: 4

Despite being aware of the risks, they consider it to be 'unmanly' to wear any safety equipment. Their thinking is not much different from other employees all over the country.

... in such an economy are
usually the consumers, the producers, the owners of private property, and, the
government. These are the people with the power. The whole system revolves
around private gain rather than the interests of everyone in a community. Since

However, governments may also affect ...

... the questions with regard to intuition. I knew outright that I was an extravert, and I thing that shows in getting a 41 on that section. The rest of the areas were a little shady, and it seems as if they could have gone either way. So I am not too sure about the rest of my characteristics, except for the extraversion.

... in debt $5,262,697,717,000 as of February 7. This
number grows about $10,000 per second(see charts 2,3,and 7). President Clinton,
Chairman Greenspan, and Congress are all working towards a balanced budget by
the year 2002. As many economists explain , the need is for legislation to keep
the budget balanced for years to come and not look for a quick fix to balance

... reform in China were introduced not
only due to some kind of generosity on the part of the Chinese Communist Party

Communications, 1992, p7). It is therefore not surprising that Canadians are
among the biggest users of telecommunications in the world. For example, in 1990,
Canadians made more than three billion long-distance calls (Dept. of
Communications, 1992, p8).
Innovations made possible through telecommunications have also
contributed significantly to the phenomenal growth of the Canadian
telecommunications industry. For example, the total value of the major telephone
companies' investment in their facilities rose from $17.8 billion in 1979 to
