CHAOS!!!
Economy --- I get annoyed every time I watch the Sunday weekly news shows and smug, well-heeled news-pundits postulate on whether the economy is slowly recovering or if its the Obama administrations lack of agressiveness or if the Obama administration is doing what it can or whose fault what is!! The middle-middle class is taking all the hits!! The middle-middle class eats and lives the American dreamlike aspiration of life and pays, and pays, and pays. The middle-middle class teeters on losing big because most are employed (on the up-side) and stuck (on the down-side) in oppressive debt, ineligible or unwilling to risk the legacy of bankruptcy, or to meet the criteria for help so the middle-middle class is trapped and holding its breath hoping to make it through from day to day without some personal crisis siphoning off the little security that exists.
Employment -- The conumdrum --- How does the average person have money to spend? They work for it. Where does the average person seek employment? Well that depends on where they live, the culture or economic class they identify with, how well one is able to use one's level of education to acquire work that is meaningful and not demeaning, which depends on a person's outlook on life. What are you qualified and willing to do? What employer needs you and can hire you and not the daughter or son or relative of a spouse/friend/ or acquaintance. Employment is easy for the talented, skilled, and well-connected. The average, occasionally brilliant, but very reliable, too often thought of as mediocre population has an employment problem.
