It’s pretty sad when you feel like you have to give things up or return things that you’ve worked so hard for but can no longer afford anymore because the economy has gone down the drain.

Everything is going up in price except for the rate of pay.

I don’t see any relief any time soon.

How do our government representatives and the president expect people to live? We certainly can’t do it on one income. It’s no wonder people are forced out of their homes due to foreclosures. A person can’t call home “home” anymore. Where will those people go?

No one seems to care, as long as they have a roof over their heads. Certainly not President Bush.

We Americans are getting treated badly.

I always wondered why we celebrated the 4th of July, because by no means is this a free country. There are consequences for everything a person does or says.
