2. Sorry to both...a sign of the times. |

Downsized 16 months ago...no callbacks. Lost 1/3 of my income and that hurts. How many people across the country have to suffer before some positive action gets taken?
Some Repugs and a lot of Dems need to get their butts in gear and get some sort of jobs program going.

4. I honestly do think they're trying, but this was a long time in the making. Biden |

was on Larry King last night and relayed that his grandfather always said "when the people across town are hurting, it's a recession, when you're the one hurting, it's a depression." He -- and they -- know that no matter what the numbers say, people don't care if they don't have food on their table, can't pay the rent, can't fill their gas tanks, etc. But they're not FEELING it, they don't know what it's like, and if they ever went through a bad stretch, they've forgotten how scary and debilitating it is.
It just takes SO LONG for anything to be accomplished in DC! And now with the Republicans throwing a wrench into every little thing they're trying to do, it's even worse!
It's going to be a rough go, and I'm not sure how we're going to get through it, but somehow people always seem to survive. :hug:
