How did we get to such a situation? Where did new go wrong? I remember like it was yesterday, listening to the last Presidential Debates, hearing all of the wonderful things both candidates were saying they were going to get accomplished and do for our country. I remember how both candidates were so determined to fix out health care problems and our nation deficit. Well, what happed? The worst is what happened we fell into a total financial downfall. When it first happened, nobody wanted to call it a recession. It was just a small bump in the road. Then companies fell and the government came up with the grand idea to bail some of the larger corporations out of bankruptcy. That’s right, the same companies that got us into this mess were now being given money to stay in business. What is wrong with this country?
So there I was, trying to enjoy my brother’s wedding and thinking about how I had to take out a personal loan to help him out with all of the expenses. I used to have a great paying job. I had benefits that were near the best in the country. I had perks, compliment limo service and health clubs. But when the nation took a dump, I lost my job. Now I work as a local manager at a local retail store, barely paying off all of my accounts and loans. I was so upset that I had not been able to help my brother out without having to take out a cash advance. I really hope things turn around for us all. You never know, maybe the government will end up taking out a payday loan from the Chinese. Then we really will be in trouble. I wonder what the interest rate on that personal loan would be. I truly hope we never have to find out.
