The economy is in a recession, a state of contraction, not an over-arching social economic depression. Of course some areas and certain professions will be be affected differently. Every loan and/or issuance of credit is an expansion of the money-supply. Fractional reserve banking allows money to continually re-enter the economy. It keeps the hustle & bustle of our consumeristic/credit based system going; expanding. But, it has consequences and this is just one of them - when the (money-supply) balloon expands faster than it should - it can collapse that means that money becomes more scarce in the totality of the system - as loans are called-in & new-loans are not made.

Agree, & par for the course sir.  I can't imagine what goes on in some peoples minds. I have had the same thing happen, time and time again, when I place adds: for CADD-techs, surveyors, etc. What strolls in - is amazing to say the least.

I've got a family retail business so apperence is a major factor and we have a certain type of fashion that we sell

The illegal mexicans can replace you and do your bussiness cheaper than you can because the cost of housing is much less in Mexico, umm I mean your job is one that Americans are unwilling to do like landscaping and construction.

Ok, now take a deep breath and repeat after me " My bussiness was built on the housing industry which is now collapsing because it was spurred on by unrealistic prices and mortage policies.  The house of cards that Morgage companies Preditory lending policies were built on is collapsing and you and them are left holding the bag.  The Dems and Repubs agree on the plan to fix it, but it somehow doesn't include helping you, but will help the person holding your Mortgage by spending your tax dollars.  I am still gay on a democratic robot even when I know he is bought and paid for by the financial institutes of America.

I will not vote for McCain, even at gunpoint.

So, I will likely cast my vote for Obama if he makes it. It's complicated. I have my reasons.

I would think you would go for McCain first just because he hasn't been taking money from the usual suspects and he at least paid for the sins of bad politics in Vietnam so he would be a wild card that might actually push for reform of the Republican party.  Hell, Republicans hate the guy because of McCain Finegold and such. 

I don't understand your thought process on this.  I can't believe the shit that has been nominated by each party.  I have even thought about writing in Ron Paul just to protest the Republican party. 

I don't know, do you think I am missing something with Obama because I know you aren't the type just to vote for someone based on YouTube videos.

Well.
I can only speak for my industry. My God. What a difference. Save your karma, this isn't meant to solicite sympathy.
Two years ago I was almost guaranteed 2k per day in sales, now we go entire days without calls. I used to average about 20k in the bank, and at the moment I have about a thousand dollars, and my mortgage was due Tuesday.

I have fared far better than some of my competitors who have either gone out of business, or are hanging on by a thread with 1-2 days of work per week, but the situation has me reeling. There seems to be no good answers as to what to do about it. We hunker down. We go off the radar as far as payroll taxes. We become deadbeats on some ( most ) of our bills.

This is the most miserable business climate in my lifetime. And all the while, gas goes up every day. Milk prices have almost doubled and empty headed state senators from California are trying to ramrod a one dollar per gallon tax increase on gas.

It seems like they will not be content until they have broken our backs.


I don't understand how things have turned so hard so fast.
What in the hell now?
