I work for a medium size financial mgmt company. From 2002 to 2008 our assets under management went from 250 million to just about 8 billion dollars this past August. From August to yesterday? we are down to 4.4 billion. I know when I say billions you are thinking huge amounts, but the drop from August is truly frightening in such a short time. Just walking through South Station and on the train you can sense the mood and see the anxiety in people's faces. Obama has his work cut out for him but I think we all need to drop the crap about who's fault it is, he's a socialist, etc and pull together. After all, that spirit of community got the country through the 30's (and 25% unemployment - 1 out 4 workers!!!) even though there are still dip%$%$%$%$s to this day who poo poo Roosevelt and his programs as "socialist"..
