I agree, ML. I sense we are in a BIG bind. And it sure could get worse, as food prices (grocery and Restaurants) are bound to rise due to the excessive gas prices. Housing is in a major slump with sales and forclosures, the dollar has dropped to record lows, companies are going bankrupt, unemployment is on the rise.
Of course I could be wrong, as all the news articles and economists may be lying to (or just kidding) the public.
It aint pretty
I feel bad for folks on fixed incomes
