this ISM reading will put the fear of god into a lot of people but I fear its too late.

The thing is that people don't realize that a deep recession will put the US further in debt than just this bailout and thats IF we lost all the bailout money (which I don't think we will).

USUALLY when you go into recession you are coming off a boom period where you have built up reserves.

I know for a fact businesses can't buy inventory and the next shoe to drop is the payrolls. These are the small companies in the bay area. These guys that I know can borrow money short term from the venture capital community but most cannot.
