your financial problems. The REAL unemployment rate (unemployed + subemployed + gave up looking) is probably about 20% in the USA right now. I have friends in the trades (i.e., plumbers, carpenters, electricians, etc.) here in my state that tell me they are seeing about a 30% real unemployment rate.
This is the inevitable consequence of having the wealth drained out of our country by entering into losing trade deals all over the world with the mistaken belief that things will eventually stabilize as the middle classes in those various Second and Third World countries continue to grow. In actuality, as their middle classes grow, OURS will continue to shrink! I think that things are probably going to get alot worse before they begin to stabilize. Hope I'm wrong about this...
