Answer 2

I haven't lost my job but my husband & I were shocked by what we say yesterday. I have cut back on spending & we don't go out much but I needed something to wear to a wedding. So we went to a local shopping area where their used to be 100's of cars on the lot anytime of day anyday of the week. It was practically empty. So I went in the store & my husband came in after me & said something to the lady that worked there. She said wait until you really get in here & see what has happened. I thought she meant it just looked funny without so many people. No, she meant everything was 40% off & they were announcing 20% addtionally would be taken off. I think in this area people just need the money for gas & other expenses that have went up. I know this great store is going to go out of business. I needed to get something to eat so we were going to go out into the mall & my husband said "there is nothing there anymore" all the stores were closed & we couldn't even go out. ..I was watching an old George Carlin show on TV later in the day & he said that the rich just focus on staying rich & create wars & all kinds of stuff to keep the middle class from noticing what is really going on. So some people are really happy about all of this cause they don't think it will effect them & it probably won't.

Answer 3

not yet but the company i work for is going under as of january.... 13 employees is now down to 5.... recession ?MOST DEFINATELY !!!! and i put all the blame on the republicans in the white house ! I pray obama gets in and even so bush has made such a mess i feel sorry for what all obama will have in store to clean up... the one thing that drives me crazy in this country is all the people that complain and complain, and then you ask them if they voted and they say "oh i dont bother with that c**p"........ they dont even deserve to be here. (okay thats a little harsh, but you get my drift)
