America's Economy

The economy in America is so horrible and it only seems to be getting worse. I mentioned in a comment under the "Jobs" post that my mother is a teacher in Marion County.

To back up my first sentence, last week I was so saddened by what she told me, that it really made me realize just how awful the economy is.

She said that a couple of her students parents had to quit their jobs because they could no longer afford to drive to work and half her class is now taking the bus to school because their parents can't afford to take them to school.

After that she continued to tell me how horrible she feels by asking her students to complete homework when a handful of kids, just in her class, don't even have homes anymore. These poor kids are living out of their cars with up to five family members amongst them. How do we let our economy get this bad? I think the government should reevaluate their priorities when it comes to spending billions of dollars on war when there are children who are trying to get a good education, that can't even do that!

America's economy is going through some hard time. People must stay faithful in the system of economy. the big corporation need to stay stable to bring reassurance back to the market.
