Im not into to alot of politics. Nor am I one to overly worry about the economy. I will say and feel safe in doing so that it has become an issue around my area. Alot of foreclosures and such are lowering property left and right. For alot of people that is bad such as my husband's uncle who's base income is off of the properties he own's.

For those of us stuck in the middle class slot, I will say yeh things are a struggle. But other oppurtunites have opened for us that werent always an option. We have tried for 3 years with about the same income to purchase a new car, we were always turned down or asked to get a co-signer and my brother in-law was in the same boat. All of a sudden we both have been able to get new cars with no co-signer no down payments. We both used seperate car lots, so yeh it does seem like where sometimes things tend to look bad it tends to open oppurtunities for those who before had none.
