billiethekid,
I agree the media sensationalizes everything for their own purposes.
However, in my working career in AT&T manufacturing, I used to visit dozens of plants with thousands of people, perhaps 100K people. Today, it's all gone.

Same is true for so many other businesses. Sure, there are wal-mart and pizza hut jobs, but that doesn't raise families and buy homes. We're in a real mess.
I feel the pain and I've been ultra-consevative, and I pray and worry for my kids ( and yours ) and their families. I'll be alright, I've learned to really like beans.

Anyway, like Tankdiver1950, mostly venting. It's a big mess.
