I’m sure that not everyone can live this perfect life that it seems you have. Maybe people did not ever expect that they would lose their jobs or if they did it wouldn’t take them so long to find a job. I have been looking for a job since April. I went on maternity leave the end of March and I live in a state that the employer does not have to give you your job back after leave so they hired someone else. I was the main money maker. I never thought that it would take me so long to find a new job. So now we are in the middle of an eviction, we rent, our utility bills are a month behind, and we couldn’t buy the things that our children needed for school. My husbands job is extremely part time and he can’t find another one either. A house is a very important thing to have and I don’t think that to many people got mortgages that are to far out of their means. They probably had to delay their payment for a month to pay car loans, utility bills, and food and then their house payments got to high for them to catch up. You need to think about what you say before you say it. The future is not known and anything can happen. Why should the gov’t bailout the banks and big business? Did you happen to hear about the head guys at AIG take this retreat after receiving their bailout $ the first time. They spent almost 1/2 million dollars of the tax payers $ to stay a week in a resort and get 23,000 dollars in spa treatments.
