RE: is it political to talk about how bad the US economy is?

50 years from now our children will be studying about the 2nd Great Depression. No one wants to bring up the "D" word now, they are afraid of a total collapse. It won't take much to bring down this house of cards in which we currently reside.

I lost my good job of over 30 years almost 3 years ago now, and still can't find work. It seems that I am 'overqualified' for every job opening out there. I don't count as unemployed, even though I can't even get a part time, minimum wage job. I went from $85K/year to $0/year. I'm "only" 53, but I feel like a leper when it comes to finding work. I've even been turned down for a part time, minimum wage job stocking shelves! It's horrible out there. I'll have to start dealing drugs or turn to prostitution next.

My real concern is for my children. I have three sons in their 20's, none of them will be able to say they had a good job for 30 years. They can't afford homes, or children. The future is bleak for the have nots, whose numbers are growing daily.
