These are days of economic downturn and recession. About 10000 jobs have been reported to be lost just last week. But it strikes me as odd that most Americans have adjusted to the new circumstance without much of a fuss. One family did a smart thing - together the husband/wife combination were reportedly making 180000 $ a year. Now with the husband’s paycheck gone, they are on to suporting their family with 2 children with 90000$. They have adjusted to the fact that there would not be any increase in their incomes atleast for some time. So they smartly went on to cut costs . Extra coffee, tea, snacks, going out for eating, shopping at cheaper stores are all gone and has helped them to balance their budget.One family even cut off cable television altogether and started watching their tv shows on their computer instead. Children who were sending thousands of text messages through their cellphones are now asked to go easy on them. Pooling cars to reach offices have increased. President Obama was asking on arab television the other day if the muslim world was any better after Bin Laden launched his terror attacks on 9/11. But Bin Laden did not care about his people when he began the attacks. All he wanted was to cripple the American economy and looks like he has succeeded to an extent. But he better watch out. Americans can fight back and they will for sure.

The mother of the woman who gave birth to 8 children in California the other day has revealed that her daughter was single and that she already has 6 other children. She now has 14 children to take care of. How the hell is she going to take care of all of them? More than a million dollars will be needed in a year just for their basic education, food and housing.
