Hard Times

Retirement and
Investment Accounts
cleaned out
by the crooks
on Wall Street
with their
secret Swiss
Bank Accounts.
Desperate people,
many your neighbors,
family and friends,
losing their source of
income, cars and homes,
the bill collectors
not leaving them alone.
With forclosures way up
and wages going down,
this ain't a picnic
and it ain't no circus,
its hard times
rolling into town.

And I think it's going to get a lot worse before it ever gets any better, Jemes.

True James, I have just paid off all my accounts and for my troubles they charged me 17% on top for being early, ouch.

You tell it like it is ~ and it ain't a pretty picture! ~ Aptly put! ~ and most-assuredly, a picnic it is not!

Thanks James,

We don't seem to be affected that way here in the hood. Of course we've always been a center of hard times. We wouldn't notice the difference.
