Reply #120: I am living well, so far.

[gordianot]

I do get around in my work. About the only thing I do not see so far is widespread starvation but there is hunger. I'm old enough that I have seen hard times but not the level of desperation I am seeing now.

Top 10 afraid not. If I could (which I am not allowed) I would be glad to show you some real desperation. Not numbers or theory but living breathing people. Some have crossed 2 to 3 paychecks into poverty and disaster. Six months ago they were middle class. People are making life and death decisions based on financial decisions, choices which no one should have to make.

Not only are people facing their own personal disasters we have a Government that is spending all of us into to the bone yard of debt. Some of the so called tax and spend Democrats are going along with the ultimate spend Republicans(they do not want to tax). The debts are going to catch up with us. Let's see if the ownership society is not a grand illusion. We may all need a parachute.

If you want to see this for yourself visit a few plant closings, free clinics, credit counseling offices, soup kitchens, and charities. Maybe some of church groups or labor unions would help you out.

This was not a normal election loss.
