I agree with BTK, keep looking on the bright side. However, I feel that we must keep informed about what is going on. That's partly what got us here. We kept in our little corner with our heads in the sand while politicians did their thing with our money. Don't just watch one news station, watch them all to get a broader outlook on what's going on in this world. Take the facts and discard the newscasters opinion. Your opinion does count and you can make a difference. Let your politicians know what you think and support. I believe we can make a change.

As far as unemployment goes, I live on a road with 6 houses. Two of my neighbors have had to find other jobs. My one neighbor has been constantly getting new jobs because of companies in trouble. My friend who works for DHL and has a few years till retirement is wondering if he will have a job or even have the company retirement. Visit a food pantry and you'll see that there are many people hurting. The food pantries are running out of food. My mother told me that she and my father had jobs during depression and helped to feed the neighborhood. We can make it and become a better country, if we all pitch in and help others.
