I own a home furnishings store. Now that people can't buy/sell their homes and many are facing foreclosure they aren't purchasing home decor items. Sales are off 55% from this time last year and I can't recall ever having seen business this bad. Now, if we do experience a credit crunch I won't be able to meet payroll within months. I could loose my business because of the free wheeling dealers on Wall Street and the mess they have created. Where is my bailout? Seriously! I understand the logic behind supporting our financial markets, but the reality is that it is the small business owners that are suffering and barely meeting their monthly obligations. The nations largest Chevy dealership closed it's doors last week, and I feel like that is just the first of many retail closures to come. Right now my financial life is at risk on so many fronts....retirement savings, stocks, my income, my insurance.....I'm pretty much hating our congress right now and hoping that the FBI prosecutes as many Wall Streeters as possible..
