Bad economy

Economy in US is very bad. I know that it is bad almost everywhere in the world these days, but people say that it has never been this bad since depression time (1930’s) in US. Just in November 533,000 people lost their jobs. Social benefits for unemployed are minimum here and most of people lose their health insurance as soon as they lose their jobs. The self employed people who have their own business are doing really bad too. My brother has his own business and it is very bad for him too. He is going through another divorce as well. When he was marring this woman every one told him that she just wants to get green card and use him but he did not listen and now his wife left him after using him the most. I know that is his fault and he acted so irresponsible and has spent too much money for her but how some people are that ruthless, they come and use someone and right at the time that they see there is no money left they leave too. She was Russian and Russian women have no good reputation here just my brother was too naive! I don’t want to say all Russian women are like that but we have heard lot of bad examples of them here and in Europe. Any way I feel so sorry for my brother and all the people that are losing their jobs, home etc these days. I and my husband both have government job and we are safe for now but even our jobs can be at risk if it goes by like this until next year!
On Friday afternoon when I was going back home from work, I was listening to the radio and they were interviewing people that have lost their jobs recently, I felt so sad for them. Especially in this time of year it is so hard to be unemployed and having kids who are looking forward to Christmas. For the first time in my life I wish I were god and I would eliminate poverty, sickness, war, injustice in the world and would make every one healthy and happy!
