Ongoing Increasing Economic Collapse Has a Greater Price for All Americans

The economic news only continues to worsen with alarming developments occuring daily. The sad consequences of this downturn will be of enormous cost and pain for most everyday Americans as governments are largely impotent and inept in facing and dealing with this crisis in ways that help the nation and its people as a whole rather than just monied special interests, corporations, and the wealthy elite. Without dramatic change occurring in the November elections, those costs will cut deep and harshly for most of the American middle class, the poor, and small business. Desparately needed federal programs such as universal health care and investment in infrastructure and 21st century new and alternative energy sources development are at serious risk, among numerous others, of not dawning. And any efforts to further address global warming will be all but nil.
