Default RE: The current economy and the direction fuel prices are headed

A lot of truth was in that article. Another thing people keep forgetting is that although the Big Three might be having problems, the work force is actually doing pretty good. The Japanese manufactures are bringing in jobs by the fact that they are building plants here in the U.S. which helps to compensate for the losses in manufacturing jobs from the Big Three. The big industry these days are our drug companies. They make the new drugs that are on the market and those jobs pay better than manufacturing thanks to the knowledge which that requires. Along with those jobs comes jobs to market these products. I think most of us here, have had it so spoiled for the last 20-30 years that we don't even know what a bad economy really is. There are some sectors in our economy that are less than perfect, but I still see people living more luxurious lifestyles than what I did growing up.
