How has the global recession affected your family?

In a partnership with GroundReport and the Huffington Post, the Talk to US initiative invites citizens from all around the world to share perspectives on international news. The most compelling videos will be aired on national TV program Worldfocus.

For our second Talk to US question we want to know how the global recession is affecting people's lives.

So how has the sinking economy changed your life? -Have shops around you closed? -Have you lost your job, or do you know someone who has? -Or is your family's life different?

Show us and tell us about the changes in your life in a short video and post it as a response to this question. Your story could end up on the Worldfocus TV broadcast or on the Huffington Post. The deadline is February 28. So tell us your story and start filming today.

Hi Lisa - enough of all this recession talk. It's just too depressing.

I have a question for you though - will you marry me?

The Huffington Post blows! Their objective is to sugarcoat the Obamanation and its policies. What would the point be to post anything here? Why feed the propaganda machine?

The medical system is messed up and so are the schools right now. but there aren't many other places in the world that are better. We're pretty safe here. Look at history and remember that, Europe was ravaged by WWII, there are still people alive who went through it. Japan was bombed in the only nuclear attack ever. China is Communist. etc etc. What we're going through now is petty compared to those.

I am actually ahead of credits, 10 currently and am a sophmore in honors. The school system is shit, and I wouldn't want to raise my children in the future here if it get's worse, I would fucking homeschool them if I was here. The medical care is fucked up in this country as well. The so called freedom isn't freedom, Now I know why a lot of people hate this country, before I was stupid now that I am smart I realize that USA is really fucked up and getting more fucked up.

If all this talk about the economy is clouding your mind, may I suggest you listen to Pete Stark, a Democrat representative to Congress from the great state of California. He puts it all in simple English. Just cut and paste this to your YouTube search window...
