There are so many people I know who are sitting on the edge of their seats right now, waiting to see if democrats and republicans will come to some sort of agreement on a budget for this country. People I know who are nonessential government workers, are wondering if they will be getting a paycheck in the next few weeks. We are in a very fragile state right now. The slightest move could make or break the financial situation in this economy.
Just about all of us were affected in one way or another by the housing market. When I moved here to Mobile, it took nearly three years before my home in Huntsville sold; talk about sweating bullets and tough times! When it seems we've gained a little bit of footage, now this. People have to spend to stimulate the economy. No one wants to spend if we don't know if we will have a paycheck next week. Lawmakers need to stop fighting, if they have to work around the clock, the American people deserve more. We need to all be shouting and putting pressure on lawmakers to come to some sort of compromise that's going to benefit everyone. We know everyone want be happy, but at least fewer people will be without work.
