good thing you have that side business as a man-whore for elderly women....
I think the economy is unfortunately not front page (like Iraq) b/c of the primary popularity contest that really doesn't cover issues. Ben, I really dont think a lot of people think about all of the aforementioned factors... except the guys who are planning retirement in my department, I know they watch the market daily and decide if they want to work another year or not!!!

I really dont give too hoots how the stock market is doing when i look at the economy to guage how i feel MY business will do in the upcoming months.. High oil prices, high food prices, paired with many in a mortgage crunch will mean to ME that my business will not thrive anytime soon.
I would like to see the figures of personal debt and personal savings.. how many 'normal average income' people are able to save 1/4 of their income in todays economy?? not as many as a few years ago..
there is Nebe's view on things..  |
