After bidding farewell to 2010 many Americans are suffering from a severe hangover and this is not caused from drinking.  The economy managed to give a migraine to just about everyone.  This recession has placed a great depression on the pockets of low to middle class Americans with little relief.  I strongly used the words(Great Depression) because that's exactly what were living.  So when is the government going to begin issuing the anti-depressants?  Fact:  When the actual great depression took place we as a nation only had half the population and the unemployment percentage stood as it was.  Now present in the new millennium our population is doubled along with the unemployment rate.  Doesn't this mean we are along the same lines of consequence as our parents and grand alike?  I would say this is common sense but is sense really that common?
