if you are really broke, just trying to feed your family, do you still shoot? do you still have cable tv, wireless internet, cell phone? people make choices, but have gotten to a point in this country where not only do you need enough money to "feed" your family, but you feel you are entitled to survive AND have tv, cell phone, beer, fast food, hobbies, etc... try eliminating everything that you dont NEED to survive and you will be surprised at how little you really need.
i have no doubt that there are people out there that cant make ends meet, but i think most people are not there yet. with this president and congress you will need to make changes now as it is only going to get worse in the next 6 to 9 months.
My power was shut off. Its still off any were are going into the 4th day. I have to pay a judgement now against a former roomate that trashed my apartment then wanted his deposit back. And instead of me collecting the money I was out I have to pay them. There is no food in the house not that we could cook it. And I think we are getting a bug problem. Nope things couldn't be better for me since unemployment insurance ran out. I don't have cable but my brother who is working put me on his friends and family plan for $10 a month so I have phone in case one of those employers calls. My women left me after she tried to kill me.
Yep things are going great!!
