Nevada has been hard hit also, made the top of the national list for foreclosures. It trickles down and affects virtually everyone....gas prices, interest rates, unemployment, you name it. I work part time and with a 34 mile a day commute, I'm not sure I CAN afford to work there anymore. I drive a Burb (paid-in-full, BTW ) and sometimes I feel I have more equity in the gas tank than I do in my house!
Ditto, howEVER, what dream world is Bush living in that makes him think the economy is so damn strong!?! Must be some really good chit he's 'cause most of the world disagrees with him.
Oh, duh!! He's in the oil business, my bad.
