Comments on: Economically Speaking, We Aren’t Feeling So Hot http://reisman.lohudblogs.com/2009/05/12/economically-speaking-we-arent-feeling-so-hot/ More from columnist Phil Reisman Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:16:03 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: David V. http://reisman.lohudblogs.com/2009/05/12/economically-speaking-we-arent-feeling-so-hot/comment-page-1/#comment-3690 David V. Sun, 24 May 2009 20:13:46 +0000 http://reisman.lohudblogs.com/?p=851#comment-3690 We've all had one of those watershed moments when we realize that we're not as rich as we thought we were. Suddenly, the values of our investments have fallen substantially, and in terms of real estate values, the picture for the future looks dark if you're an owner depending on properties holding their value or rising in value. At the same time, our incomes are threatened, and in many cases, jobs have been lost or salaries cut. State and local governments are exacerbating these problems by seeking to relentlessly take and spend ever higher percentages of our incomes. Something is going to snap, and it's not going to be pretty when it does. We’ve all had one of those watershed moments when we realize that we’re not as rich as we thought we were.
