Ranting

The state of Michigan as it is right now, is kind of sad. The crime rate is up and jobs are down as most people know. Whats worse is that even people that have gone back to school in order to get a job are out of work. I as a Medical Assistant am no exception to this statistic. I myself am unemployed just like 20% or more of the population. I went back to school to get a better paying job so that I could support my family. Unfortunately for me, thanks to the state unemployment offices, people believe that Medical Assistant positions are many. This is no longer true thanks to those very same offices essentially flooding that job market to the point that these jobs are no longer demanding more employees. In addition to that, even if I do find a job in my profession, the salary for this demanding job is significantly lower then basically all other states. So in that regard my degree is pretty much useless and I am currently applying for any job ranging from fast food to sales and receptionist jobs just to get some sort of paycheck. Also in Michigan or anywhere else for that matter, people cannot even afford a crappy apartment because they have decided to raise rent. People that can't afford these ridiculous rent charges think, hey maybe I will buy a house instead..it would be cheaper. While this is true, the people who's credit is suffering from this recession also cannot get a mortgage. After the bailout for banks, instead of making it easier for people to get a house it is even harder. Instead of lowering the credit score required to get a mortgage the banks raised it by 100 points. What I would like to know is where is the supposed government while all of us are getting screwed by large corporations even after we bailed them out? We are getting taxed to the point that people are losing their houses and more people have to live with relatives to survive. Where is our bailout!?
