The current unemployment and economic situation has turned traditional thinking on it's head.
I know individuals who 10-years ago thought unemployment was a welfare program, today they are praying for unemployment insurance extension.
I have a college friend who years ago made good money developing computer systems to integrate call center operations overseas, and saw nothing wrong with outsourcing. Today the only job he was able to get was at Best Buys repairing computers because his job was outsourced.
People who thought they were in secure management positions are finding themselves unemployed.
Even those who started their own business are going under as cutback forces people to curtail buying.
I look at all that is happening and simple say "There for the grace of God"..... Everyone, could be that next unemployment claim, food stamp application, foreclosure notice being taped to the door, or standing in line for that 1 Burger King job.
