Yes, lack of pricing power has been a huge problem for many businesses in the last five years or so, so if the mills are not very careful how they manage things, they could indeed run into trouble very easily.
And the economy is still in a lot of trouble, as many with jobs now have lost their higher paying jobs, so their household "pricing power" is also down sharply.
