Spence,

housing prices fell 18% and you had a 700 billion bailout. Those housing prices adjusted for inflation are STILL 15-18% above the norm. Can you imagine what will happen when it finally corrects, never mind hits bottom?
Consumers are 72% of the economy, with this growing unemployment and uncertaintly (and my gloomy posts) think of how massive a hit the retail and service sector will take.
What if we get a bad winter, how will towns afford to plow the roads? many local towns are struggling due to decrease in tax and permits.
The list can go on and on, I dont think I am being overly pessimistic.

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all

Maybe we should just curl up and watch Mayberry RFD reruns on TVLAND
