We need a Retail Bailout Fund.

Lots of people work in, and depend on these stores for their livelihoods.

My silly distant cousin who was sending me all kinds of pro-Obama emails before the election just sent me today an alarmist email that said hurry up and use your gift cards because all of these stores are closing. Does she not see the connection?

BTW where’s that clique of Freepers who used to sneer “chicken little” at anyone who expressed the slightest misgiving as to the direction of the economy?

Tell her businesses have zero confidence in O. I knew a few businesses that were going to hold on to their staff if McCain won and in the hope things would get better. The day after O won they laid people off and they were not happy about doing it.
