I had to post and run this morning; chasing the Almighty Dollar myself, LOL!
I agree with you. Just more gloom and doom. HOWEVER, it drives me absolutely BONKERS to have any personal debt of my own, so I try not to think about how in debt we are as a nation.
Things have to get much worse though, before the rest of the nation even notices. Even with $4/gallon gasoline, and all the whining that entails and the SLIGHT changes people are making in their budgets, nobody’s shoes are pinching enough for them to care, yet.
Not yet. The drain is steady and like the boiling frog. Eventually many may wake up one day to find their options are all closed.
