Economic Frustration

I'm sensing the fear and frustration from unemployed citizens. I've noticed that just today alone, there were many interviews going on. I realize how lucky i am to have a job. This crisis has been felt by many. The greed on Wall st has put many job seekers in a position of uncertainty. That uncertainty stems from not being able to attain jobs that they are already overqualied for. The competition is so grave that unmotivated and complacent job holders are now finding themselves unemployed. The employee now has to maintain an overly aggressive attitude about his or her job because employer's and/or small business owners can discard disgruntled and attitude addled employees with the drop of a hot. I have already seen it put to the test with my own eyes and eye witness assurances provided to me by other jobholders at, other locations.

The theme being stamped home here is that, even if you don't like your job and are slacking off, you had better have a job that is at minimum better suited to your needs and capable of providing you enough money to carry out your role as someone who has bills to pay. Count your blessings if you even have the werewithal to get by in this unremittingly lousy economy. I too went months without a red cent earned and believe me, I know how hard it is out there and how despondent I have become to get out of this choke hold that Wall st left us in. It's been corporate greed and failed government that has rendered us helpless!

Now the genesis of an historical moment of history is about to take place. I have nothing but great hope about January 20, 2009. This new chapter is about to unfold and the excited anticipation of the American people is immeasurable. Let us give way to a new moment of history and dispel the old ways of Wall st. For America, fresh new days filled with light and new ideas break the old levy of torment!
