Foreclosures, Job Loss, And Depression!

Foreclosure filings are at record levels, then they level off, then news reports start talking about "ghost listings", and more foreclosures come to light, but then "new" figures are released and things look on the rise again. Jobless rates are rising, and economists debate whether the U.S. is in recession, depression, going through inflation or deflation. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that things are a mess! With the level of confidence that all these warm and fuzzy reports bring, millions of Americans are now just simply trying to weather the storm and wait it all out.

While millions of Americans wait it all out, try and notice something in the various "news" reports...they are very politically slanted, pretty much everyone of them these days! News outlets that lean toward the Democrats site improvements in the economy, while news outlets that lean toward the Rebulicans site declines in the economy, leaving millions of Americans smack in the middle without a job, and doing everything just to pay for day to day survival.

As powerless as many Americans may feel, there is a lot that Americans can do about the state of affairs here in the U.S. Finding work is always a priority, taking care of your health an even bigger priority...make your voice count! The opportunity that is here is in the U.S. is enormous regardless of what your politcal inclanation, just make your voice heard by taking on a more active role in your community. This is a lot harder than it sounds! If 10% of Americans just helped by getting involved local communities more confidence would quickly spread, and now imagine if 40% of Americans were involved in their local community!

If all the events in the U.S. and the various political debates leave you numb, jaded, and even more cynical, get over it! You can always have your voice heard, however, with freewill comes the freedom not to decide...What's your choice?
