When I was growing up, there were still a lot of people working who had worked during the depression. They would tell stories of how bad things were. They said that during the depression, if you didn't like what your employer did, and you complained, you were shown the door and told that there was a "barefoot boy" waiting to take your job.
Things are not that bad in this country at present but ominous clouds are on the horizon. Take this story for instance about Merrill Lynch cutting its employees annual allowable sick days from 40 to 3. Merrill knows the green flag has not dropped yet, but they have already started their engine cause the race is getting close.
For those of you that think the government is gonna do something about it, just remember that the government has never made an honest dollar in its life. It exists on the tax money it can steal from the rest of us. When the economy tanks, so do taxes. The government, without tax money will be laying off just like everyone else. Chances are that "barefoot boy" your employer will be threatening you with will be a former government worker.
