Yeah, me too. The phrase is so overused it's been drained of meaning. Still, the picture is quite poignant. There are a lot of Americans in deep trouble who are running up against (here's the great metaphor in your photo) a brick wall it their efforts to survive economically.
I just served dinner at a homeless shelter last night. No help wanted. Indeed a sign of the times. And let's kick em while they're down. NO AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE either! What's wrong with this country? V
