Stopped in to check out the Bigs and noticed this particular picture. What struck me about it was the men standing in line at this job fair. How old would you guess their average age. From the looks I would say that late forties early fifties is about right. What happened to this countries manufacturing companies? Where did the jobs go that you worked for 30 years at one place and retired? How did it get to the point where companies don’t or won’t provide some kind of benefits for their workers?

It is just a damn shame what our ploliticians have done to this country, and I mean all of them.  With a record 87 million people unemployed, the politicians “kick the can down the road” mentality has hit the end of the road. I am unemployed, have been since Christmas, my company closed the doors because we could not compete in this economy. I would be one of the 50 somethings standing in this picture. Damn shame.
