Like it or not, we are going to have a real problem on our hands. Our jobs have been shipped overseas and the truth is there simply are NOT enough jobs to go around. I don't see this improving.
Some people who are over 50 have killed themselves in despair. Others in their 20s wonder how they'll ever get out from under their student loan debt or be able to find a job.
For those who don't have family or friends to fall back on, isn't is really government and business's responsibility to provide for some kind of housing? I mean, we bailed out Wall Street. Now it's their turn. What's your opinion?
Well, I think we're going to need more than that. A lot of people might not qualifiy for section 8. I am on another forum and people are really trying to just keep a roof over their heads. The rate of doubling up is 12% in the past year in terms of people moving in with others. What of those who have no "others" to move in with? What happens when all the shelters are full?

Well, then what is the answer? There was another thread in another part of this forum. The OP had written that many or some of her friends over 50 were starting to really get worried and she was looking for help re: what to tell them in terms of why to go on.
Do we just let people who "did the right thing" end up on the streets or worse? I think Wall Street has a responsibility to main street at this point. And government needs to see it happens.

I was referring to another thread started in a different area of this forum by another person.
