How did this happen?

I am going crazy just thinking about how this wonderful country got in the shape that it is in.I have watched people that I would have never thought would lose there home lose it. I am very scared that I will be next,I can't eat ,I can't sleep, I cry all the time and I wonder how We got to this point. I was once a very happy person and now all I would like to do is just go to sleep and never wake up. My husband and I own a plumbing company and I tell you there is no work out there and no one is hiring at this time. We have taken all the savings we had and used it just to keep us up and running. There is no help in sight. You know what i think is so sad? It's the fact that there is no jobs here so my husband is going to go to Iraq to help build back what we destroyed. We have been married for 26 years and never been apart and all of a sudden we are faced with the fact that we may never see each other again. For what you may ask ,For the American dream? All I want is to be out of debt and owen my home but I am very sure thats not going to happen. What can I do !
