Ms. McClendon, "The Economy Sucks! When you live in a society where a single person without dependants making $25,000 a year can't make it. It is not geared for middle or low income people. The U.S. is mainly made up of middle class families. Middle class families are stressed because goods and services are steadily increasing and their salaries are not keeping up with the rising cost of living. Many agencies that do pretty much the same as Missouri state workers are compensated more for their work. The economy is run by greed and is not run with the everyday citizens in mind."
