Dream out of reach

The march on Washington in 1963 has been dubbed "The march on Washington for jobs and freedom."  having a job was not just enough for people, you needed to be able to live off of those wages, support your family both nuclear and extended.  Just as that idea was expressed primarily toward African Americans during the civil rights movement. Now we are in a dangerous recession with the world on the the fringe of economic destruction. instead of finding long term solutions for the excessive debt, our Government is cutting corners and in the short term cutting the spending however they are not creating jobs for the 9 percent of the American population that remains unemployed.  The rich keep getting richer and the middle classes and the working class are stuck with 7.25 an hour from the federal government minimum wage. We, as people, cannot live on that, " Food, Clothing, housing, and transportation on 7.25 an hour? There aren't enough hours in the week."
