Someplace Like America

Althought this is only an introduction for a powerful set of stories, it is full of meaning and depth. most of which are hard to even read about. Comparisons of the great depression are made as well as the recession in the 80's, to todays economic crisis. You rarely think about those who are displaced from these economic hardships unless you are directly affected yourself. This introduction talks of the homeless around America and thier stories. Many people feel like just becuase this is America, there should be no depressions, hardships or hard lives. But sadly that is not true and we all know it. The author plays on the fear of losing our homes and our normal lives due to economic downfall, which I must say bothers me greatly. I have a job at Tractor Supply and to me that means the world. It is secure and enjoyable and I know alot of people who would kill for a job like mine, even if it was just part time. Like the author says, ther is no way to know exactly what will happen to our great nation as we endure these economic hardships. Save every penny and make the best of everyday.
