Americans Are Truly Suffering

[TheEnforcer]

The ignorance in this thread astounds me....

"Real financial woes happen when you lose your house, your car, your job, and your family" is happening all across the country. Retirees or near retirees who have busted their asses for years have seen anywhere from 30-60% or their retirement income go up in smoke depending on their invetments. Jobs are being lost, homes being forecloed on all across the country. Wages on the DECLINE, etc. etc.

As a side issue I see on CNN that people are starting to fight back a little.

Sherrif that refuses to evict renters of homes where the owner hasnt paid their mortgage.

No ignorance. I wouldn't complain about people who are losing their houses and whatnot complaining. What galls me is someone who's biggest problem is cutting back thier lawn service and feeling they merit some sort of special report because they are feeling the financial pressure.

People are losing everything, losing all they have worked hard for, and this woman feels special because she gave up the (probably illegal mexicans) that were mowing her lawn?

I guess this thread was just a little too subtle for many of you.

No. she answered a question. The exact question she answered was:

With a struggling economy and rising gas and food prices, many Americans are cutting back expenses to save money.

We want to know how the current Wall Street crisis is affecting you. What are you giving up? What lifestyle changes are you making? Are you worried about your retirement, your college funds, your mortgage?

Send us photos and video, and share stories of how the economic crisis is impacting you.

The "woes" was put in there by whomever compiled the story, and then you turned it into

Oh boo fucking hoo. Give your daughter a lawn mower and she can get her exercise and take care of the lawn at the same time.

If this is suffering, than America needs to appear on Doctor Phil for some help.

and then several sheep (some of whom I would have thought were better than that) followed you right down your twisted, bash Americans at every opportunity, path.

And thus, you are still a twit.
