Yeah, they are in some seriously deep trouble.
I guess my point in posting this thread is, I haven't seen one thing in my area that this "stimulus" package is supposed to be helping. People are still losing their jobs. Just the other day, I went to the dentist's office and it was a ghost town. I asked the secretary, whose husband owns the practice, about business and she told me she haven't seen it this bad in 22 years!!
She stated that people are just getting the "minimum" amount of work done or what little dental coverage will cover. She also said that they had a condo in Florida and it was pretty bad there as well. The shops on the strip are closed, restaurants are closed. She said there are 20 story high rises with maybe three quarters of them being COMPLETELY EMPTY!! I know things will turn around, they always do. But, didn't this "stimulus" package get passed by congress over 3 months ago with "shovel ready" projects?? Yeah,.. right!!!
Ok, I'm done ranting. Thanks for listening guys/gals.
