Well contrary to the FUD that Bush tried to scare everyone with, I am just fine and had no worries ever? Lets be clear though the fundamentals of our economy are not strong. Until we change the way things are done and hold people accountable instead of handing out 700Billion dollars in bailouts with no oversight (as requested), the fundamentals of our economy will never be strong. So from my perspective its was clear, the fundamentals of our economy are not strong. We have +6% unemployment, +8% here is Michigan. The gas prices are insane, the food prices are insane, college costs are through the roof, people can't afford healthcare, seniors have to decide between food or medicine. Nothing about our economy is strong, unless you own and oil company. In 2007, the average annual household income rose 1.3% to $50,233.00 according to the Census Bureau. Imagine making 50K a year and supporting a family in this economy.
