grandpa, we looked and i learned alot about the problems today and how history is very important. We can learn from the past and not make the same mistakes. We need to be careful with what we do with our money today. We need to learn everything we can, even adults need to learn. I can compare Tom's family with families today. In Washington things are not looking good. Job losses are at the highest level in 16 years, 7.2 percent. We saw about a boy who's mom is losing her job because people do not use her restaurant as much anymore. These people are having hard times, they should know that they can be strong like Tom's family, sell their extra stuff, figure out ways to make money, God is with them, He wants us to learn to depend on Him. Roosevelt was very smart and came up with ways to make jobs, he encouraged people on the radio too. Obama is trying to encourage people and come up with a plan. His plan is to invest in the future and education, put money in people's pockets, and create new jobs. I couldn't find much about the weather except it's going to snow big time up north today. People are not selling houses very good today, the banks might take the houses back if people can't pay for them. That's all today. Thank You!
