Many people are losing their jobs or in jeopardy of losing them and they need money. Is there anything President Obama has done since he cam into office to help the average guy? Some people think that government grants are the answer but in reality, most of the stimulus grants are going to corporations and not individuals.

Some people have heard about government grants and are trying to get help through them. They are not publicized that much and so until now, they have slipped under the radar for many people. However, with so many folks being in desperate need of financial help, more and more people are hearing about and applying for these grants.

You should never have to pay to apply for a government grant and if you are lucky enough to get one, it does not have to be repaid. Like anything the government gets involved with though, the application process can be confusing and difficult for the average person. Add to that the fact that most grants go to organizations and companies and you have a situation where the demand greatly exceeds the availability.

This economy is as bad as most of us can ever remember and people are struggling everywhere. People have hoped the gigantic stimulus bill would have some help for individuals who are in debt and having a tough time keeping up. Even if it did help, it might not be enough with the amount of debt that some people have.

There are many components to the economy and right now they are all working together in a downward spiral to make things very difficult. When one company or industry fails, it affects others all around it and we are now seeing how dependant we all are on one another. Even if you have not been affected personally by this economic downturn, it is impossible not to see how it has changed some thing around us and how desperate people are to get jobs and make money any way they can.
