    Playing Spent could be the most important thing you do today.

    Members of Congress have no clue how the rest of us live. And I don't think they want to get a clue.

    As a former member of the working middle class (now retired & coping with multiple debilitating health issues), I'm living on a far-less-than-$900 monthly S.S. check and only Medicare for health care, After forced medical retirement, I paid my own way with what savings I had. Those funds are now used up. I implore you to play SPENT! Hopefully its challenges will toss in your head afterward, and you'll be better able to grasp my, and so many others, reality. I worked in a homeless shelter, but I never thought I'd be this close to needing to live in one. Fear of what is ahead is my constant companion. Maintaining positivity & my dignity is getting to be near impossible. Again, please play SPENT with a mind open to millions of Americans reality.

    It is shameful that the wealthiest of Americans don't contribute their fair share.

    As a monthly volunteer at the Rescue Mission I can certainly see first hand the struggles these families are facing. When's the last time you and the members on your staff volunteered?

    This is why people like Mitt Romney don't win my vote with claptrap about how "corporations are people too". They get all the rights of people, but none of the responsibilities. America is in dire need of progressive change.

    I made it with $100 to spare, until I realized my $800 rent was due the next day. I'd love to see you try that.

    Many used to be middle class people now live life this way. The middle class is shrinking as the rich as growing. They cannot afford to fight back

    Not quite sure what Congress or the Federal government can or should do, if any. But I realize what individuals, like you and me should be doing. In fact, as Christians, we have an obligation to personally help the poor. Now we need to just do it!
