“the job I lost in 2012 is now paying about $4 less an hour than what I was making at the time and there’s a lot more responsibility now.”

This is the elephant in the room that is being hushed in the news; anyone I know who lost a job and found another is making a lot less money (even if they’re doing the same thing). Our wages are being suppressed to meet the rising wages of Asia’s growing middle class (who are working the jobs we used to have).

Back in 2009, I was laid off from a company I had nearly 28 years with. God was with me and I was able to get a job a month later.

The fact that my new job paid 60% of what my old one did and my commute tripled is beside the point. I figured out what I needed to make to support my son and myself. I expected a pay cut and I am still employed at that job.

You have to be realistic in your expectations. And, you have to be flexible. And it really helps if you have Faith!

All that being said, the we are in a Depression, not a recovery. Obama's goal is to destroy this country. He has nearly destroyed the healthcare industry. He is destroying our military. And he is destroying our collective work ethic.
