Its end of November and the excitement of election is over . I was horrified to hear about the 20 thousand dollar trip to DC to beg for our money and the arrogance of the CEOs of the big three . 2 million people about to lose their jobs
While the fat cats get millions. I have friends who work in the Automotive industry , they are scared . Friends of mine , Ann and Bill have two children, one is a special needs child who has to have therapy that insurance will not cover . The father has worked for 23 years and is not guaranteed a pension . The wife is a special ed teacher, this is what she said to me, you think we had problems what is going to happen when I am the sole provider of the family? But they are working it through to ensure that they can save their home and have something for later.
So its not just people losing jobs , its strains on marriages. Toledo will lose tax revenue ,and they are already laying off so many workers ,and there is a budget crunch.
Which was better to deal with , the crazy fascination of Palin or the reality that is about to hit millions. I do wish the CEO's of the Big Three would get it ,their arrogance hurts us , and now they have to wait till December .
The bright light in my reality , I got a call from my old boss and I am back to work , so now I work 3 part time jobs .At least I have income coming in and my best friend had my god daughter yesterday , and she is 6 weeks early but she is happy to be here. Little miss Hope Michelle ( she will not confirm she is named for Mrs Obama ) and she loves the Audacity of Hope.
Well Happy Thanksgiving and lets hold on to the promise of the Obama Presidency .
