"The whole thing is the economy"
Well I hate to tell you this, but the Demoocrats haven't done anything in the last year for the economy. And the economy isn't going to get any better in the next 7 months. I work with the banks and Fannie Mae on their foreclosures. I have had more work the last 2 months then I had most of last year. We have only seen the first wave of them. We are now started the second, and I know there will be at least a third. The first wave was in 2007 and 2008 when the houses were foreclosed on because of Bad Loans. Now we are seeing the second wave because people are unemployed. Most contractors I talk to, have very little work. Jobs that use to pay a contractor $3,000 are only paying about $1,700. Most comapanies are underbidding work, just to have work. My electrician use to employe 11 people, now it is just him.
