It's all going to be fine

I've heard politicians say on the radio that it's all going to be fine. The American economy is strong enough to stabilize itself. This is just a bump in the road. When you take a moment to look around you, judge the economy for yourself. More then ever, middle aged and senior citizens are working at minimum wage jobs with no benefits. My guess is they aren't there because they want to be. This past year there have been constant layoffs and factories moving out of the country. Major banks have been failing, People can't afford to live in there homes, the cost of everythig is sky rocketing etc. The biggest problem I see in my life is getting a decent job. Even with a decent education it is damn hard to get a job above minimum wage. Low paying jobs are more demanding then ever. You're extremely lucky to get any benifits at all, let alone two days off in a row.

Every job out there, even if it's minimum wage, should give you enough money to, afford a small house, drive a car, afford good medical AND dental care and have extra money to save for retirement or unexpectid things. This used to be America. Everyone had these things. Now everyone is too poor to afford any of them. Everyone except for the ultra rich.

Everything is not fine. The common man will always be the one to suffer during an economic crises. It's getting harder to make money. I'm thinking of moving to Europe.
