"The real America" coming soon to a neighborhood near you ! |

My brother in-law is getting murdered by this economy. He can't qualify for medicare but he can't afford to see a doctor. He went to the emergency room because he was passing out. That was the last time he saw a doctor. He doesn't have and can't afford insurance, so he can't get an appointment to see a doctor. He owns a restaurant and the phone and cable are cutoff. He works seven days a week running a cleaning crew in New Orleans along with working the restaurant the rest of the time with his wife. She works at the restaurant 7 days a week. She had a lump in her breast. She went through hell and high water and finally qualified for some sort of womens and children's program in Mississippi and got worked on. That took months to do. The five dollar a gallon gas ate up most of the money that he made driving back and forth to New orleans. Nobody can help anybody . Work is disappearing everyday and people are just beating the landlord, and the power company, and the water company. Getting the power shut off and getting notices from the "public utility" power company that there poor creditor deposit is getting double because they are bad credit risks.
"So let this economy collapses" let everybody suffer and then maybe there will be some change. If there is no change ....so what.
Let John Thain and Stan O'Neal fly fly their corporate jets over us and shit on us. So what ! !
And this isn't just an isolated incident,,,is it ?

It's pretty scarey when people don't even have enough money to go to a bankruptcy attorney when they are in trouble and get some help to save whatever they have left. That's pretty much evidence that the break between the classes in this country is complete.

2. Same here. Everybody that I know is on edge. Nobody has lost their jobs yet, but |
|
all it would probably take is just one more jolt and then it will all come crashing down.
Sadly, things are going to get worse. How much so...?
