Well, poverty is almost every where right now. Or at least it seems that way from where I’m standing. Everyone is real troublesome right now in America. Gas prices are going down, but we don’t know if they’ll stay that way. I know that most people are striving for gas that they can put in their car, so they could drive home from work every day for the next year. Florida has gas that can be drilled from all 3 sides of the state, yet the environmentalists say it will cause a problem in the environment and won’t let the government through. With the President Elections coming up, and the #1 topic the being the problems with the banks. Meaning the economy right now is low, low, low. All products and goods we buy daily have gone up double the amount that they were and have shrank in size. Us kids and teens don’t exactly know what are parents are going through. The loss of money, the increasing word coming from a stressed bosses mouth, “Fired!”. America is not the only place where poverty is lurking, there are many more that are in the same posistion.
