Blogs about: Economy

Many of us are wondering the same thing: How much worse will the economy get? Major retail stores are closing, pink slips keep coming and lots of people are saddled with devalued homes. Yikes: Are bread lines next? The president has a plan, but there is no shortage of skepticism that it will work. Meanwhile, those of us most affected by the crisis are trying not to freak out, or we’re searching for a silver lining (and there are more silver linings every day!) There are reasons, of course, to stay positive in spite of the negative. But if you’re feeling a little panicky lately, you’re not alone.
