Well, the middle class is officially dead. We are also officially in a recession. Don't let Bernanke fool you. The only things I can find are part-time, and I'm struggling. So, I got my benefits (purely a title by attrition) to the tune of $31.50 per week. Yup, PER WEEK. I can't pay my bills, can't find a job (although the interviews are coming fast and furious), and I am seeing the death of the middle class.
I sat between two people the other day: one man had a PhD, the woman had a masters in teaching. No welfare queens or assholes bilking the system in this bunch. This is good old-fashioned Reagonomics coming home to bite our heads off. If you're not rich? Well, go bitch somewhere else. We don't wanna hear it!
Never in my lifetime have I had such a difficult time simply surviving.
And as for my living situation...well. Oh, boy. Don't get my started. Eccentric, selfish, mixed jumbles of yuppies that can afford this place and the blue collar chumps that can't get by? Let the class war begin.
I've fucking had it. Really and truly.
