What is your local economic situation? Give us the short story, long story, details. Good, bad or ugly what is going on in your hometown? Something like this will give us a much better pulse on the economy than what the establishment is telling us.
Me personally:
I live in rural Southern Illinois, and almost every single county and town is laying off workers from firefighters to school teachers due to massive budget deficits.
Most of these defecits have to do with not recieving grants/payments from our inglorious state.
Our local 4 year school Southern Illinois University is almost 100 million behind on state payments, looking to borrow for now but has no long term plan to deal with this.
Local bussinesses are very fragile, most fighting just to keep the doors open. Our state, county, and small town employees are the base of our economy here.
Maybe it is better elsewhere, but I'm not very encouraged by what I see here.
