We'd like to think its something that will be over in a few weeks or months, but in all reality, things have to get worse before they get better. I think the country is so spoiled, it's going to be hard for some people to do for themselves. We just have to take care of our own and do the best we can..

It will get better. The economy runs in cycles. Let's just hope we don't hit depression-level lows before we see improvement.

The economy is like a yo-yo. It goes up and it goes down. It will go back up eventually.

probably, if obama and his crew don't screw it up. honestly the only thing that has affected us (meaning my family) from the current economy has been the gas prices. everything else that's hurting us is due to our stupid reliance on credit cards. never again will i go into debt, lesson learned!

Yes, but the real question is when. I don't think we will go into a Great Depression like it was in the 1930's but it could become a mini-depression before things get better.

Chickenhobbit, I agree! We haven't been affected by the econonmy either except for our stupid mistakes with credit cards and car loans we don't need. We have learned our lesson as well.
