Dear Mr. President,

I'm starting to lose hope in the American Dream. It's been two years that I graduated from the University and continue to seek for a job that pays better. Every time I see the news and how scarce the job market is I wonder when this whole nightmare will be over. I'm starting to question the validity of higher education was it even worth it. Who would of ever predicted that this economy was going to be in such a mess. When the house market started to fall apart and families began losing their homes the media was easy to blame the owners for falling behind on their payments. Many people fought hard to continue living the American dream of owning a home, but that slipped away. I wonder if you ever had collectors calling you everyday or every other day asking you to pay them. Telling you, "Why can't you borrow money from your friends or a family member?" And you sitting on the other side trying not to break into tears, because if you had the money fuck you wouldn't be talking to the collectors at all. You desperately apply to every job possible, but no one gives you a chance to prove yourself in their company. You don't have any experience in the field, but your degree is pretty fancy and nice keep hanging that expensive paper on your wall. All I'm saying Mr. President that when you needed my vote I supported your dream. It is about time to help the people that voted for you, I'm sorry that I didn't have enough money to give to your campaign only if I made a few more dollars I think I would of sponsored you.Perhaps, you would of taken a closer look at what the regular citizens truly needs jobs. I think it is a little too late my dad has become one more percent of the unemployed. It is so sad to see your own father who for many years has been the provider of the household having to tell his children he has no job. But that he is still very fortunate that all his kids were able to finished their degrees. I wish I could provide for him the same way he provided for me all these years.
