Are you saying you have no home, no car, no money, no food and one dependent? If not, than what exactly do you mean? Please spell it out. Are you going through hard times now? In the past? Know someone close who did or is going through hard times now?
I don't think gridlock is saying no one has been through hard times but when compared to 30's and 40's - or even the 70's - does it compare? How many people going through what is called hard times today have a color tv? A car? A place to sleep? A cell phone? A PC? Internet service? Cable? And if they are poor and have little or no food, than why do they have that stuff? Why not stop getting that stuff and put their priorities right?
Thank you.
