He did make it through the layoff...but I say there will be more to come. Are things tight....yeah they are! we have eliminated one $400 monthly payment a few months back (ooh that will help! yeah RIGHT...) dont even notice it because of the higher prices at the store. AND we cut a LOT of frills on top of that. SO what gives?
Friends out of jobs, local businesses closing their doors, big businesses closing their doors. Less and less to go around for everyone. the list goes on but Yeah I would say it IS as bad as they say.......

Well, at least we can take some comfort in the fact that the top CEO's are still able to live like swine.
In fact, I think it was more than generous us as for working Americans - or those of us who still are employed, anyway - to give them a trillion dollars of our money to be sure that they could continue to do so at our expense.
However, it's not as if they have no compassion for the plight of the American worker. One CEO who asked not to be named has offered this solution to the woes of recently dismissed workers:
"Let them eat cake."
