As I watch politicians like Mitch McConell and Eric Cantor play obstructionist, slowing down the economy, forcing budget sequestration which will cause people to lose their jobs for no real reason, I think about this:

Since the economic collapse, I’ve spotted an increasing number of slightly ragged adults in NYC aimlessly wheeling a single piece of luggage behind them, unsure of where they’re headed. It’s become too easy to recognize them.

They are not tourists. Life was very different for them not too long ago.

Is it like that where you live?
