People I know who have either been laid off or are on the verge of having it happen, or who are otherwise struggling financially:
8
Yes, that would be 8. Eight.
There's no way you can tell me we're not in a recession. And I'm frustrated with anyone thinking about voting in more of the same old crap. There's at least one guy I work with that I really want to kick in the shins every time I hear him start in on politics. Even the sound of his voice sets me off now.
When it was one person, we thought, "oh, we could help them in an emergency, if things get too bad." When it's eight people - OMFG. We can't float loans to eight people.
And though we're doing okay, it's bound to swing around and affect us soon, so we're frantically saving every penny, which is good for us, but bad for the economy as a whole.
I'm as anxious for January 20, 2009 as everyone else, but it won't mean a thing if McCain "Four More Years" gets in office.
