4. What the problem is...is WHAT DO you Talk About?

Any suggestions? I find it hard to find something that isn't Politics that invades every avenue of our lives these days. Our Relatives with Kids who have huge college debts but no jobs after graduation, the downsized members of our family who are looking for jobs or who gave up after years hanging on until they can get Medicare and SS..and others..too afraid to try hoping they can get back the income they used to have so they don't have to take SS early to survive.

Lots of hardship stories of our Younger one's who are College Educated Parents whose kids are in turmoil over States forcing them to do "Teach to Test" and that their kids are trying to fight to get into the New/Latest "Charter School" where all the best kids (1%) go...and they feel left behind struggling if they should try to get them into Private Schools and the cost of that.

We've got family members from all age groups affected these days by Struggle, Hardship and it's not the "American Dream" but reality that the top 1-5% don't have to worry like the rest of us do. And our parents struggled to get all of us into College and give us the best they could to give us a Leg Up to compete. We did good....but, not good enough when the Bankster Criminal Community and the rest manage to take over.

We are the Middle Class Workers of America who are Educated and Educated our Young. And...we are being Left Behind.
