As I sat and watched the news again today I wondered why I bothered anymore. It is the same thing day in and day out. The Unemployment rate gets higher and higher. More companies going under. What a sad state of things this country is in. I know we aren’t the only ones in trouble, but it’s so horrible. Of course the other countries are blaming us too according to what the news is saying. Goodie Goodie. But why not? Why shouldn’t they?
Our previous president didn’t bother to announce a rescission until just before he left office. I don’t know what planet he grew up on us, but the rest of us knew it was here LONG before he decided to tell us. I hate it. I really do. Due to being sick I can’t work right now, but if I could I would be terrified of the job market. Terrified. There doesn’t seem to even be any minimum wage jobs available. Not that anyone could afford to live off of that, but any money is better than no money.
We aren’t well off in our household but we scrape by very carefully. It was nice to have some relief at the pumps, but who knows how long that will last. It’s just dismal. I know Obama is trying, and I like him as our President (nobody better flame me for that either) but good gravy will we ever hit bottom? I am scared. I am scared for this country and I am scared for my family. But in the end I guess all any of us can do is hope.
I feel the same way. Me and hubby are getting by but we have cut back here and there. Plus, hubby works for Ford and everyone knows what trouble the auto industry is in. Ford isn’t as bad as the others, though.
I like and voted for Obama, too. 🙂
