Our President has been to Elkhart, Indiana twice because the unemployment rate is so high...it's about 35 miles from here. I'm sure he must be aware from the articles in the papers. And just about everyone here knows some horror story about their friends losing their homes because they can't pay their property taxes or their cars because they can't make the payments after losing their jobs.

And the callers on the call-in shows have trouble containing their anger. ~sigh
