Economy
I decided to write about the economy because these are really hard times right now and with the budget cuts and all it just really makes me mad. Why, because I feel they are cutting in the wrong places! Education for one, that is just the wrong place to cut in my books. Okay I don't have any answers as to where they should cut, but cutting education just isn't the right place to be cutting. Law enforcement is another place they shouldn't be cutting. With the economy the way it is people out of work there are already more crimes going on and it is just going to get worse. The unemployment rate in NV is at it's all time high of 9% and I believe that is where CA is also or they may even be at 10%. So the Govern of NV is cutting the State workers pay down 6% that is including the teachers I believe. Job freezes so the workers will be getting paid less and doing more work even possible layoffs even after all that. Than I heard that in CA with all the people that lost their homes to foreclosures they are having to find rentals well the landlords are jacking up the rents. My friend was telling me her sister said a studio apartment is 1700.00 a month! Shame on those landlords for doing this! It is an outrage! Gas prices are going back up again which don't even get me started on that subject!! Even working at the Hospital they are cutting back so much it is really scary!! I am not even sure what is going to happen with our little unit. They say no worries, but at the same time I feel like I am the captain of my ship and it is sinking, but I am going down with it and at the same time I am thinking should I try to find something else? Should I go over to the Long Term Hospital? So many question for such a scary time. With businesses closing there doors and the unemployment at it's highest and all the cut backs the only thing I can do is pray and turn to God for guidance. So I do pray for myself and my job and I also pray that things start to get better. It really is hard times we are living in right now and I feel even worse for my children's future if they keep cutting education. So in these hard economic times we can pray that the President well do the right things to turn the economy around. I know it will take time but there should be some solution that would be able to work and stabilize the way the economy is going, so I will keep on praying for that to happen.
