Final Post for Second Quarter

This quarter many things have happened in the United States. Obama appointed his Cabinet members, Gaza was attacked, our economy sunk even lower than before and more and more jobs were lost everyday. Yet, here in Northern Virginia, we have felt nothing from this. I talk to my aunts and uncles in other places around the country and they are getting laid off, put on paid leave and things of that sort. But here, no one that i know of has really felt the effects of the crisis. At the same time i dont know if we really have a right to call it a crisis. More than half the people around the world live on less than three dollars a day, and a third of those people live on less than a dollar. Yet, when our economy drops, and maybe we lose a bit of our wealth, everyone goes into a panic. I wish people could understand this is not the end of the world. It just means we have to limit our spending until we get back on the right track. Okay I will get off of my soapbox now. Hope you enjoyed!
