    Right On

    Best article I've read in Salon. You ae right on. It's called supply and demand. If people ain't buying then Companies have to downsize, and it becomes a spiral to recession. This Country has maxed their credit to the limits and now we are paying the price.

    Hope Obama knows the answer and can right the ship.
