I find all this about the economy suspect…I beleive we are in a chain reaction recession but I am not sure we are not being lied to about how bad it is. For example I am confused about not being able to fill up my gas tank all summer…paying 4$ plus and then the cost of oil goes south and its back to $ 1.70 a gallon.What is going on? People are shopping at the stores but cnn says no one has a job……I can’t find a parking spot at Walmart. I am a bit confused….but I’m old……so maybe thats it.

I completely agree with you! I see people everywhere shopping and eating out. And nobody I know has changed anything about their speding habits. But stores are closing and people complain of jobs being hard to find. I don’t quite understand it either.
