Ecnomic crisis!!!

During this economic crisis, so many people are suffering and so many are just making it by. I have notices that just about everybody I know, talks about how they need money or that money is tight. Some say that were going to go into another depression and some say that Obama will fix it. But we really don't know what will happen. Not only are the people suffering but banks, business and corporation are to. Some just downsize, some close and some are bailed out by the government.
The one question that I ask is how did we get to this point? why are we here? We were at our peak and now it seems that we are on the way to our lowest point. And with all the holidays that are coming up it makes thing even more harder. Parent don't want to disappoint there kids and get them what they want. But yet they have to find a way to keep the lights and heat on. Today some, don't even look forward to the holidays because they know that they have to dig deep in there pockets to find nothing but a dime.
