It may seem "fair" to Mr. "I made a mil in oil investments" but to the average working person it is an extreme hardship.
"Copeland says she depends on the Atlanta food bank to feed the four grandchildren she raises alone. She says the high costs of food, fuel and daycare force her to eat meat sparingly and shop at Goodwill.
"Although everything is going up, your pay rate doesn't go up," she said."

That last sentence says so much about most people who are struggling. Yes, some chose to live beyond their means and may face bankruptcy but by far the most of them just need fuel to get to work and to the grocery store and it is becoming increasingly difficult for them because as the price of fuel and subsequently everything else rises, pay remains stagnate. It is truly a sad state of affairs IMO. And I agree with uscitizen....it matters not whether we have a republican or democrat for president...we are in a heap of trouble.
