Back in the early 80's my husband lost his job as a morning anchor on TV and couldn't find a job. We had three small children that needed to eat. I had three part time jobs and he took a job stocking at night at a local supermarket to feed our children. You take what you can and hold your head up high until something comes along. We had to start from scratch but we made it.
He should try to get that job now ... I would NOT want to make bets on his likely success .... if he's over 40 ... forget it.

Where is our Reagan today? Hell, our "leaders" don't even realize that there is a problem. The only "solutions" being offered are more globalization (i.e., more American jobs going oversears), higher taxes, more bueracracy, and more waste in gov't spending.
