I can relate, I was that unemployed dad back in 2003 and I cannot put into words how afraid I was for my family's future back then, as I've been the sole breadwinner in my home since 1999 when my wife quit working to take care of our 1 and 3 year old children at the time.
It took me four months back then to find a new position. I've never felt "comfortable" in a job since. Especially now. I look at people who I personally know that are unemployed and struggling to pay their bills and think to myself "there but for the grace of God go I."
I'll only start feeling better about this country's and my children's future once the worst President ever, Barack Hussein Obama is turned away from office. THEN this country can finally begin an economic recovery in earnest.
