Depressing Thought of the Day (don't say I didn't warn ya)

The bottom is finally falling out, this country is stretched thin, maxed out, debt piling on top of debt. China owns us, India owns us, their economies have replaced ours as we have willingly sold our jobs to them, thinking we were on top, but guess what? We're on the bottom now. People here are out of work, unemployment shows no signs of abatement in the near future, overeducated and overqualified people are now competing for grunt work, for service work jobs. Welcome to the new America: the service class provider.

What is going to happen in the next few years? When is the country going to admit that we are in the second great depression? Why must the nightly news keep on acting as if things are generally ok? Stop making those of us affected by unemployment feel like we have a disease.

Wake up America. It is no longer enough to get a degree in something, and have work experience, because our country has sold that out from under us. What good is knowledge and work experience if your job ceases to exist? If you can't pay your bills? If you watch the fruit of what was supposed to be your life die on the vine?
