For many of us, it is not unemployment, but being retired and on a fixed income. Too old to be hired, to established to move, our savings drained by lawyers and now raising grandchildren. There is always the free breakfast/lunch program through the schools. WIC helps for the younger ones. Health needs can be addressed through medicare, the public health department, or various free clinics (Lion's Clubs offer free eye exams and glasses.) I clip coupons and shop on Wednesday only (Sr. Citizen's Day) and I plant a garden every spring in my back yard. My mother used to tell me stories about the depression. The United States is headed in to another one. Our politicians just aren't admitting it yet! Good luck to you and yours! Sharlene, I understand and agree with you.
