Midst of a Recession. Who is kidding themselves. In Ohio homes are for sale some areas every other home. Forclosures surround us. What is going to be next a depression. Families are having serious trouble in our state. Gas and Food Prices incresing. Heat too.

Recession Concessions:
Eat out less, travel less, use up a stocked up freezer, coupons, reasonable fun short trips, and establish what really is important in my life.

Having just come from Phoenix:

“free rides to and from the restaurant on Saturday nights for those who
might be deterred by $4 gasoline”

It’s not about the gasoline, but instead about the most bankrupt state in
the nation recapitalizing via DUI offenders (young people, out of state,
latinos).

Dear Slump Special Desk;
Dollar stores are now a thirty billion dollar a year market and growing exponentially. Everything for a dollar or less. Thats where the dough is happening!
