Politics

Disputes abound about the job numbers recently released by the Obama campaign and stories of the unemployed and not counted remain in full force. (This does not mean, of course, that someone who believes that the American public does not deserve food would do any better, however.) Many American citizens who are ready, willing and able to work are still left without jobs.

The latest story that I read was written by a man in his 50s with terrible lay off stories and suicidal tendencies in his all-too-recent history. His story is common. The people who are suffering do not always stand up to be counted in the ranks of those who are not doing as well as others because of pride and the judgment bestowed upon them by others who are doing well.
