I heard the rain the 2nd time. There have been a couple of times I had to feed my 2 cats instead of myself.

I COULD NOT imagine a mother or father in that position.

We were there 25 years ago - with two young kids. Unemployment line and all. It was awful.

I COULD NOT imagine a mother or father in that position.

I can, because I've been that father and husband, since the Democrats took over Congress in 2007. It's almost too difficult to talk about to others.

I just thank God that my wife and I have had the strength to tough it out (somehow) and slowly begin pulling ourselves out of it.
