I too have a very small family business that was devestated by hurricane and flood. The SBA wanted my first born for collalateral. I had to remortgage my paid for house and attempt to rebuild. Just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water, most of the accounts I sold too started closing or out sourcing to China(Bethlehem Steel), France(MACK Trucks), and others! We have no durable goods here in this country to provide JOE Average and his family wages to live on.
When I went for back surgery and didn't go for therapy, the doc asked "Why?" My response, "I have to work and provide for my family" His response.."That's the best therapy".
I don't ask for pity and I don't ask the government to help me, But don't say one thing and do another. The economy was sluggish but stable until January. Gas prices wobbled. Then some idiot in DC said things don't look so good. The media heard it and now gas prices are rising every day, fuel oil is 3.59/gal, wheat flour has tripled, protein subsitutes are being bought by the Chinese, and high fructose corn syrup is in everything and contributes to obesty. Im glad its only inflation!!!!!
