What the heck!? Everyone is out of money! the whole darn country is out of money! and yet everything still costs a fortune. I was driving to someone's house today to pick up something and I saw this old guy mowing his lawn. All of a sudden, he slipped. He started holding his knee and didn't get up right away, so I turned down that road, rolled down my window, and asked if he was ok. He shrugged it off, saying that he was fine. He pointed to his house and I saw his wife starting to hurry over. But he kept saying he was fine, he was fine. I drove down the road where his wife was, told her what he said, and she shook her head. "He'll always say he's fine, even if he broke it," she said. She went on, almost crying, "The man works and is trying to find a job.. He works at Kohls" (and Kohls is at least 30 minutes away) "sometimes 5 hours, but they're trying to get him fired... and now he keeps hurting himself... I just don't know what we're gonna do. There's no more money."
What can we do? None of us have money to help each other.. and yet we all watch each other fall beneath debt and bills till we're just little crumbs under the huge boulder of the government. What's it all gonna look like in 20 years when I have kids?
