Default All that is talked about is the media/politically induced

negative economics. As previously stated let's talk about the more than 90% that are still gainfully employed!!!!

If one is in the lessor percent of course it is a problem...it always is whether we are at 4% or 7% unemployment.

Fear is what is being pedaled and being bought hook line and sinker.

As one Villager said to me things must be bad, just look at the discounted homes TV had in the Happy Paper this morning, for example. Yes, the prices are marked down...but no mention that the price they are reduced down to is still higher than 2 years ago on many models. I know it is a minority example but it is indicative...Premier homes in Bridgeport at Miona Shores are marked down from $650,000 to $575,000....that same particular mosel was less than $400,000 3 years ago. The same applies to Designer and many other models.

The so called economic down turn is a function of where one lives and works (or not).

Most....MOST.... are still working.

It is not in the best interest of the media or politicians to look at the bright(er) of anything.
