One of the 293847 times I checked CNN yesterday there was an interesting article that I read about "Police face cuts as economy falters". This story really stood out to me because now we are starting to really see how our economy is affecting everything - such as, job cuts. Job cuts to the police force is major. This means that there will be a smaller police force out in town, in neighborhoods, on roads to keep drivers safe as well as the community. This cut comes at a bad time. Let's look at it. Because the economy is low, this means people are losing jobs, not making enough money to pay their bills or support their family...which means their is a greater chance for theft (crime will go up) - some people will do anything they can to make ends meet. Because our economy is bad, again I will point out JOB CUTS aka POLICE. This means it will be easier for people to get away with things. Crime is going to go up. Safety is going to become an issue. Ecspecially as more people loose jobs, it gets colder outside, Christmas time....YIKES.

Yep we can not just sit back and think politics and the economy don't affect us personally. This issues are very real and are impacting us currently as you pointed out in this article.
