In their wake they leave unemployed who for the greater percent have very few options for re- employment except minimum wage which cannot even care for a single persons needs let alone a family.
This also began the process of the agenda for privatizing social services especially, health care and education. Had these services been managed properly all along it would not be in the massive horror that we see today.
The horrendous mismanagement of tax dollars over the past 30 years borders on criminal! We have had a steady line of elected "leaders" queuing every member up to go to the trough and they each come back with lucre dripping from their chins. In the meantime the hungry children in this country now surpass 300,000; we have working persons who are homeless; elderly and disabled live with the barest of necessities if they have them at all and now with massive cuts to the status of women I fear more will be forced to stay in violent homes until somebody dies, not too mention that the children of these parents become well schooled in violence in their home.
Government is supposed to be "For the people BY the people" So I am wondering; when are the people going to raise their voice and say "ENOUGH"! When are WE going to put their feet to the fire and say."If you will not work FOR me then you are gone!"
