Our membership is going up, with more new people coming in. If we were in a real recession, like in the early '80's when I got laid off from my summer shirt factory job or 1986 when I got laid off my drilling rig job when oil prices plummetted, I'd be worried about keeping this job. Instead, there seems to be no problems.
THis is just political reporting, like it was back in 1992, when they tried to get a Democrat into the White House.
Yep, they’re trying again, and even if they don’t, there’s always McCain—he’ll fix it.

That is true, but I have never witnessed the Republican Party helping make sure that a Democrat wins a general election.
I work 2.5 hours from home, and thus spend most of my week near where I work. Therefore, I have two fitness club memberships - one a family membership where I reside, the other a single membership near where I work. Must mean I’m “rich” (lol).
The education level on healthcare has risen dramatically since the 1980’s. Based on my friends and myself that going to the gym as a preventative method for better health is a hell of a lot cheaper then taking prescription drugs and doctor visits. Healthcare was a lot cheaper in the 1980’s then it is today. The middle class is way in over there heads in debt with vastly increased healthcare, energy and other raw commodities. While the US middle class used their homes as ATM’s and easy credit to sustain a quality of life, these things are now gone. People are grumpy and will vote Democrat thinking it will make things better. The news doesn’t have to try anymore to say how bad the economy is, it sucks right now for the middle class.
