Crisis in America?

We all know that U.S economy now is declining. When my husband, his friend and I went to a bar, we talked about how US economy now is bad since everything now is getting expensive and there are some even restaurants, bar, and businesses are closed due to the economy. There are even alot of people lost their job, mortgage crisis, business less hiring, the country is suddenly bankrupt and US owe tons of money from other countries. It is sad to say that hearing people lost their job and people worked too hard but make less money. I hope that after the election and somebody will win as president, I hope he will be prioritizing our economy. Due the economy is down, mostly of us are suffering and even the gas at least $3.75/ gallon where my husband and I live. I told my husband that we do not need to drive far away from our condominium so that we can save some money instead of spending our weekend to other beach or place, we will just stay at home or nearby our place. We used to eat out alot and I told him, we do not need to eat out often and better do some grocery and eat at home and we could save some money as we are now in crisis.
