I just Don't get it!

I don't understand Y all these people r gettin laid off & companies r closing down. How did ALL this happen? And Y r they still sending shuttles out 2 space that costs millions of dollars? Y can't they use ALL that money 2 help us? We've all paid taxes & tried 2 have a savings plan 4 our retirement AND now that's all GONE! Y do they STILL gotta spend so much in funding 4 bombs & fighter jets & goin 2 Mars!? Meanwhile there r people homeless, starving, & commiting suicide because they can not get the financial help they need. It's hard 2 stay hopeful & positive when U've lost everything. How much more depression can we handle?! This all really scares me.
