All At Once

For those who have been living under a rock for the past three years, we obviously been in a recession.  Stocks have gone down, and so have home values.  And people have been downsizing the heck out of everything.

Everything is going wrong, everyone ends up alone, and every time President Barack Obama mentions his stimulus package, the stock market seems to go down another three hundred points.  

I've been thinking about it, and it seems to me like the C.E.O's of big companies are just taking as much money as they can carry in their deep pockets and running for the hills.  They really don't care what happens to everybody else below them as they party on the 100th penthouse floor, while those beneath them on the 2nd floor are simply trying to keep food on the table, let alone their job, and more importantly, their future.

  This is happening all at once.  And as The Fray said in the song All At Once from their first album, How to Save A Life, all at once the crowd begins to say sometimes that hardest thing and the right thing are the same.
