Casper, I don't think it is just the 99 week folk's that are low on scratch. Wages in the private sector have remained stagnant for years, while cost of living has increased. Government is handing out lavish penions to high paying jobs, but those people are not really into the pleasures of life. They are living in houses and making SUV payments that they can't afford. What is really hurting everyone is food prices. The stupid politicians have encouraged us to use alcohol for gasoline. It is made from corn. We are burning the food! 50% of US corn goes through a tailpipe instead of an animal. This has caused problems worldwide.
Private sectors workers tell me thay do not have the disposable income they used to have. Restuarants are out, ball games are out, movies are out, rental pussy is out, cable is being cut, and Starbucks? what's that?
