13. Our poor children,...
Thank God they are so resilient. My son has had to go without for a couple of years while I desperately tried to find full-time employment for a living wage. He has done far better than I!! Fortunately, next month, I'll finally start working again.

It's not just our kids at home that are hit with these hard times (that are being down-played by the leadership). I have met so many recent college grads who have been unable to secure jobs and are terribly confused because that education was supposed to ensure their ability to get a job.

And the numbers being "invented" (unemployment, new jobs) wreaks total cognitive dissonance on all those struggling through these times.
