People all over America are yet financially struggling and the search for jobs is somewhat bare. Our American economy has displaced a lot of people. Many people have not only lost their jobs, but there have been many cases of people who have also lost their homes and have no place to go. People who lived in their cars are have had them repossessed while trying keep shelter. This is very sad, but these situations are occurring, every day and some people die on the streets.

On the streets of homelessness, there have been many cases of children who have watched their parents die and have died themselves. Our American economy has destroyed the lives of all races and classes of people. Our society have been endangered by a high rate of crime. Innocent people have faced extreme horrific situations they never thought they would ever witness. Therefore, our American economy is in a much worst condition than it was before. People do not see a future and they are in a financial bondage while finding no way to escape poverty.

Fortunately, there are people who have escaped poverty and have discovered something much better than a stimulus check or working a long hours on a job, they their own job. A small percentage of people refused to suffer and they become wiser, after losing work and waiting on a stimulus check that was just not enough to get out of debt. They gain confidence in themselves and refused to give up. Some of the best businesses in history were the ones created in the homes by people who had nothing to work with and no one to depend on. It was the era of hardships of our American economy that caused them to beat the recession.

There have been certain time periods in America when things became so bad, people chose to become stronger and progress toward a vision that would not only benefit them and their families, but many people who bought into their idea. You see, regardless of people being in debt, they somehow found a way to afford whatever new invention to buy and when these consumers bought from these merchants of home based businesses, they realized they had to somehow take care of themselves. They began to also come up with a legal idea to make a profit and create more jobs for other people. This is how wealth has always circulated in America, but most Americans of this century retain a pessimistic mindset and there is a small percentage who have an optimistic mindset and financial freedom is in their future.

If there are homeless people, how can they have a mindset to escape poverty and make things better for themselves? That’s a good question. The mind is very powerful and many times controls the destiny of courageous spirits and if you can imagine a better future and grasp onto faith, regardless of the circumstance, one’s life can be controlled by an accurate mindset. It does not matter how long it will take, the race of an individual and it does not matter the age. All that matters is, if our minds are focused on faith, which is greater than any barrier in life, we can get out of any predicament we are in.

Each and every American citizen has freedom of choice, even if he or she has not reached their goal of financial freedom. The best choice anyone can make is to imagine themselves free in the midst of this recession. Regardless of how many available jobs there are, a certain amount of income is yet needed to provide for an individual’s welfare. The stimulus check was design to assist only a little bit, but there are still people living on the streets with no place to go, even after they may have received one. If more businesses can grow as much as the jobs that are needed, then-there would be no recession and there would be less homelessness.

In conclusion, the American economy is still suffering and the stimulus checks did not help much. Although, President Obama’s desire is for Americans to return to work, work is not the solution to this recession. Those who create their own jobs, create massive jobs for other people who may some day also work for themselves, if they desire to do so. When you create your own income, then there no stimulus check that could ever pay Americans the financial freedom, they deserve.
