1) Protect your health was the perfect way to start off.

2) Job advice all good.

3) Slash your overhead. Sell-off unessential items such as an extra car, or a motorcycle, boat or other toys you may no longer be using but cost you money to keep.

Are they effin kidding us?

Debt and student loans are mentioned. Who is not in debt up to their eyeballs, even if they have the "unessential items" and toys?

The people in this country are HURTING. PROTECT YOUR HEALTH? Without health insurance!! The health insurance you couldn't afford to use even when you had it!! Unemployment benefits are being CUT OFF!! People are scrambling to get food stamps. The illusion that many or any Americans have the luxury of this lackadaisical attitude to SURVIVAL is a problem. It is THE problem. This is why more people are not reacting and demanding real change.

"During the 1930's Great Depression, people came together to help one another and as times grow worse that is what we will do now."
People are already doing this! This is a DEPRESSION. What ivory tower is this writer and audience living in?
