Searle for the US there was no everywhere this was it and with good reason the prospects of opportunity were unbounded. I dont see that now it a different feeling. There is the young almost rich who i think are holding on for dear life right now. The rate that consumers acquire debt in credit cards is dropping. People start to realize they have more debt than they can pay off. I am seeing houses i thought were sold back on the market. Each time we reduce a portion of the business economy we lose an opportunity for people here. You have contraction and expansion but contraction seems to be decreasing income opportunity which amount to the bolts and nuts of it all which is the middle class starving PHD.

biz.yahoo.com Reuters Business Report Troubled Large Loans Rise at Banks Tuesday October 8, 11:24 am ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a sign of accumulated shocks to the U.S. economy, large business loans in trouble held by U.S. banks in 2002 grew 34 percent from the previous year to $236.1 billion, banking regulators said on Tuesday. A record $19.6 billion in credits were classified as losses, up 145 percent from the previous year's losses of $8 billion, regulators said. In my opinion the economy has held up as well as it has due to the grave diggers. When this is over with we will continue downward we won't have enough high paying job creation to off set the inflation we have created. We are a nation that needs two income earners oretty soon we are going to need three at the present cost of housing.
