The recession has affected numerous amount of people in the United States. Most affected are senior citizens who were barely surviving on the small Social Security check that they receive every month and now the greedy government with no heart wants to lower the amount they are receiving now. Where is the compassion that God bestowed upon us supposedly? I haven’t seen it human to human.
People who were working after they should have retired have even lost those jobs. Therefore they have lost a way to survive financially, their home, their dignity and now the government is determined to take away their self esteem by making sure they starve to death mentally, physically and spiritually.
What about those who have worked more than 30 years in a job, paid for Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security-what happens now? The fools in government who were either elected, stole, voted, thru nepotism and simply cheated their way into the positions they now hold are now destined not to take care of the aging boomers. The United States is the one country who think that those 60+ are simply taking up space and are not needed because they are of no use unless they are very well off and don’t have to depend on the government to receive Social Security. But the 60+ who are not well off steadfastly paid into a system that was to protect them in their more mature years. Yet it hasn’t worked out that way for so many, and by that I mean in the millions who are just aimless and afraid.
One of the major important questions is: How did the economy sink so fast and so low as to affect everyone and take everything that we whole dear to our existence - that of SURVIVING.

The article link above was taken from AARP written about a woman living in her car with her pets because she lost her job and home. No one should have to endure such a catastrophe, ever. God give us the strength to carry on despite the strife we may face.
