EDIT at bottom...
Disclosure: I'm a Canuck.
It's all over the news that the US is leading the charge towards global bankruptcy. Foreclosure rates in the US are skyrocketing. Jobs are being lost. People can't pay their healthcare bills. The bankers are ripping off the government - as in the bankers are taking taxpayer money from this date well into future generations ...
but no one here is writing about it.
Now, I'm curious.
I'd like to know what's REALLY going on, both on the ground and in your heads. To that end, I've created the poll.
But in the comments section I'd be delighted to know your take on it all. I search the net for the reality of the situation outside of the panic-press coverage, but I come up empty.
I know the election is the holy grail of the moment, taking up all of bloggers' time and attention. However there is a good chance that no matter who you elect you might be living in a tent city (or at least down the street from one) by next year. so..
please, enlighten me. Thanks.
EDIT: I know, I know, there is analysis out there. And I love bondad and Jerome. But I guess what I'm missing is some first person stories.. it's difficult for me to know how it's effecting PEOPLE, not speculators. Know what I'm sayin'.
and yes, it's possible I've searched wrong.
