As I watch the media and talk to hundreds of people, I see how this nation as let it's  citizens down. People of all walks of life are facing a depression. Blue collar, white collar, or no collar. People are forced to choose between gas or groceries. The mortgage or the car note. I have heard stories of people making a hundred thousand a year having to now live off of  $275.00 a week. How devastating it is that? You are the provider and you can't bare the thought of not being able to take care of your kids. Unless you have been through this, you could never truly understand. Just think of the blood, sweat, and tears we have put into building this country. We as in the working America. All of a sudden the word loyalty vanished. As employers have laid off there best employees. People who have worked hard for the best interest of the company. Today I feel sadden by what this country has and is becoming. To the people out there reading this, Try to stay strong. We must continue to hold each other up.
