I'm also wondering what has held back "unrest" around the USA. The unemployment extension approved November 23 has still not reached the citizens.
Reading the posts regarding it
here ... is really sad and
scary. Good, honest people are desperate and hungry.
Meanwhile, the media is starting to report somewhat of what
really needs addressed:
The Commerce Department is expected to report that retail sales fell in November for a fifth-straight month despite a flood of shoppers over the
Thanksgiving weekend. The report is a closely watched gauge considering that consumer spending drives more than two-thirds of the U.S.
economy.
SOURCE: Stocks set to plunge on auto bailout defeat
Americans without jobs... Unemployment not actually reaching them yet... and, as we all know, many more jobs to be lost in the auto industry and
everywhere else that have no hopes of even being considered for a bailout or media attention.........?
Americans are in more desperate times than is being admitted to from its government or media.
A good Christmas this year will mean that families have a home with electric and food to eat.
I pray for Americans to maintain their strength and resilience.
