It's nowhere near as bad as the Chicken Littles in the nuthouse would
have you believe.

dude, this is the starting point. Where it ends up could very well be
worse than you apparently seem capable of imagining.

p.s--Chart out the job losses from last October to the present, on a
monthly basis. Do you really think this is the end of the cycle, David??

An addendum for you, David:
Along with the unemployment problem, we also have a large level of
underemployment; people working, but not able to get full time work. In my
county, we have 7.1% unemployment(slightly better than average), but close
to another 11% underemployed. This is something not seen since the Great
Depression crisis. You must see this sort of thing in MA as well, especially
working, as you do, with a food bank(a truly creditable activity on your
part, and a great example of why I expressed disappointment at your position
in this financial mess).
