Lower-paying jobs for everybody. indeed. I've seen a laid-off lawyer who cuts neighbors' lawns for food money, met a PhD. working as a receptionist for the state employment commission, read about people with master's degrees waiting tables, and I personally know an information technology specialist with many degrees who hopes to get a temporary contract somewhere someday. Been waiting a year. It did't start with Obama, or even Bush, but it has taken this long to touch EVERYONE. We tried to warn them.
Hearing part of Obama's UN speech on American aid to developing countries, it sounds like we're going to up the giving and reduce or eliminate watching what they do with it. Anti-colonialistically, you see. "It's YOUR turn," says Obama. Meanwhile, my wife's church is asking for donations for Appalachia (mountainous and isolated and poor parts of Va.- W. Va.- N.C.- Ky.-Tenn. S.C.) for the winter. They acknowledge that many people have little money they can spare, so used clothing is appreciated also. When is it THEIR turn? If Obama recognizes their existence at all, it's to condemn their coal.
