despite the rosey-happy-happy talk from repubs about how 'well' the economy is doing - the fact of the matter is the money isn't trickling down
two things are directly impacting most "regular" Americans - gas prices and credit card rates.
credit card companies are able to raise the rates because of the Bankruptcy act - thanks to the REPUBLICANS/bush who rubberstamped the "legislation" written by these industries
Gas/fuel is up - no matter who you want to blame for it - it's hurting our pockets every week
gas/fuel prices are also indirectly effecting our pocketbooks at the grocery stores - it costs more to "ship" the goods to the stores and this is passed along to the consumer.
there's more but I don't want to ramble...
the bottom line is that the "economy" is not trickling down - it's constipated.
