Frankly, I don't know what the answer is to our economic woes. I just received a phone call from an old friend of mine who just moved down to Palm Springs. He said that absolutely nothing is going on down there in the way of work and all he hears about is more businesses closing their doors. I'm in Oregon and it's the same up here. Car dealerships that have been around for years are now gone and now, of course Circuit City is liquidating. I do know that the politicians are NOT helping matters by throwing money at the problem expecially when the recipients of that money aren't doing anything to spur on business. In my case, I'm on a fixed income (a senior) and of course I need more money, too. I can't work overtime to make up the increase of the cost of living. Sure, we got a Social Security raise but that was gone before we received it. Luckiily, I'm with an online company that provides me with as much as I need and then some. You can visit my site and judge for yourself though. At my age I can't get a regular job. Competing with younger folks who have more education than I do and who will work for less is why. I feel for new graduates (high school or college) because I don't know what they're going to do. Maybe it's true what the old timers said when I was young; "There's nothing like a good old war to set the economy straight." Sad, huh? I hear you loud and clear.
