Layoffs and underemployment here can equal lack of health care, housing, and food

not to mention education.

as we all know, you can lose everything.

when dozens of nations assure their people that layoffs, unemployment and underemployment don't mean ANY of those things --you really have to wonder if we actually measure up to those other nations --the ones that are our peers, the ones with the smaller economies, the ones that seem to keep their people from suffering the way ours does.

the idea that we are cutting back on our safety net when we should be expanding it is as upsetting to me as the fact that it's already in tatters.
