I just want to say I hate what is happening with the economy. I hate being afraid to spend any money. I hate going to the grocery store and getting eggs and toilet paper and paying $20 and that is only a slight exaggeration.
I just hate looking into the future and wondering if our savings will last. Yes we are retired. And I hate what I read in the paper today. It said 12% of the students in the city school system are homeless. Can you imagine? And I worry about our freezer conking out or the vacuum not picking up like it should when people don't even have homes. I was reading about parents putting their babies to bed outside or in a car. I am praying that things get better for everyone soon. I have a son and a nephew who have lost their jobs. I know it is hard for everyone.

I know it really is scary......At my Dd's school there are kids that only get one meal a day on days when there is no school!!! WTH? No child should have to go hungry!!
