Personally I blame much of the USA economey problems on the fuel cost. some say it was the houseing market but that didn't really effect the people like the fuel thing.
took all of peoples money to buy fuel to go to work and buy food that sky rocketed in cost.
Wheres the extra money for play things like guns, bows, cars, boats, travel trailers and ATVs to list a few. Then the lay offs started like a snow ball rolling down a hill getting bigger and bigger. Some think that snow ball has hit the bottom of the hill already.
Ain't so here in Michigan I can tell you that.
Fuel went up to $2.85 end of May and the stores once again became empty. We keep bees at a green house. The owner says Mothers day has always been his busest day. He had 6 people this year and they only wanted veggie starter plants.
He hasn't sold one jar of honey for us either.
When companies can't sell products they have 2 choices. Close their doors, or go bankrupt.
Like one person stated here they would not buy a Knight since they were going out of bussness.
GM and chry. Found that to be true too.
