The blanket statement is exactly that: I am sure that there are plenty of people who think they are suffering because they can't have a double expresso or the extra scoop of ice cream, while millions are ACTUALLY suffering and these people don't have a clue. I personally think this woman is a perfect example of a false panic that has hit many people who would normally not be directly (or so quickly) touched by what is going on right now. Not only is this woman not news, but she is showing how the "instant media" world that we now live in has made someone in a fairly acceptable position somehow feel like a (potential or actual) victim. Her story entirely belittles the reality of what is going on.

People are losing their homes, their lifestyles, and in some cases taking their own lives because of this. It is amazing to me that CNN would run it. I guess they needed a panic story and this was all the could find, because everyone else they wanted to interview had already been foreclosed on and moved.
