you sound like one of those Republican types who sit in their comfort zone thinking those little people out there—it is their fault for what they are going through.

Well I an a Republican, (I am not sure about you) and I did live in AZ and had two children. I was in the restaurant business (pizza). The pizza business in the early to mid 80s in both Tucson and Phoenix was becoming very saturated. I saw the end coming, so I moved to GA. Did I really want to move to GA, NO. I took the initiative to start my own business. I did not sit around collecting unemployment feeling sorry for myself.
Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

I am not feeling sorry for myself. I am however, thankful to God that He has allowed us to have a roof over our heads and food on the table.

Glad you could move as some of us have ZERO dollars and could not do that although I have thought about it. Not to mention, the car would not make it cross-country. Yes, I am a registered Republican as well.

It is hard for people to understand these times and easy to put us all in one basket and label us the same. We have skills and we utilize them, and we look for jobs, and we keep up with it more than you will know.
