The Economy

It's amazing how bad the economy is getting. I know so many people that are getting laid off to save money. My dad is one of them. He recently got a letter saying that in July he was going to get laid off. There are so many stories of this it's unbelievable. It's almost impossible for anyone to find a job right now because of the economy. I travel around the country a lot and I have seen a great increase of homeless people walking around a lot of cities. It's sad. What can we do to boost the economy? The government isn't doing anything to help us. It's bad that important industries are having to let people go. Schools for example are getting rid of teachers, and we know that means more students in each class. Shouldn't education be most important? I think that is one area where there shouldn't be people getting laid off. I'm young and I don't even support myself. I couldn't imagine trying to support a family, and being able to pay for my house and bills. I just hope that soon everything will start picking up, but I think that it'll get worse before it gets better.
