And not just reliable paychecks: for those of us who have been fortunate enough to keep our paychecks, we need to see the wealth (the value of our assets) that we had accumulated over a lifetime restored...along with the ability to acquire credit with our assets. Even those of us with paychecks have cut back dramatically — and not just from timidity — but because we simply do not have the wealth we had a few short years ago. We will buy and invest again when we have the means to do so...the paycheck allows us to make it from month to month, it’s the destroyed wealth that needs to be returned (how about some tax cuts so our monthly income is enough to allow us to build wealth again?)
