This is so depressing. I’m just getting back on my feet after the housing bubble burst (I was a finish carpenter and stair builder) and I am so worried that the economy will tank again and my sales will die. I am just a woodworker but I could fix this economy. It’s simple. Get the hell out of our way and let us do our thing. You are “equalizing” us to death.
If the market corrects itself, housing is going to drop another 50% or so. Then we’ll really have a problem. The only thing keeping it up is the cheap credit funded by deficit spending, and Fed money printing, and (about to go hyper) inflation. The longer we kick the can, the bigger the collapse will be. That’s a fact, jack.

You might not be impressed, but we are. I hope things turn around for you. I think the economy will be like this for another 2 years, then it will start to turn around.
