I have taken care of elderly people for 20 years. sadly I have come to realize the institutionalization of America. We place our elderly in nursing homes. Our children in daycare centers. I am now 56 and I have been unemployed for 4 years. After never having been unemployed ever in my life. With many skills to rely upon and new skills obtained. I feel there is a movement in America that if you are in your 50's you will never work again unless you own your own business etc. I have not been able to find work. People act like I am 100 years old and Im only 56 in complete health. i worked for the same companies for 13 years and they closed down due to the economy. I am very lonely in America now. It is heartbreaking what is happening to our country.
