How is the global financial melt down going to affect the average person in the usa?

People will starve. Looting will start. Martial law will be put in place.

All thanks to republicans.

There is minimal effect on the "average" person. Those who are unemployed and have the issues that you discussed are a SMALL minority of the population. Over 90% of the US population is employed.

The ABSOLUTE best times, that number is about 95%. I don't know a single unemployed person OR anyone on food stamps.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
