Would it be anyone's guess that this has to do with today's unease with our economy?9
I would buy into that explanation, and if Barrack Hussein Obama gets in there there will be alot more closings. I hope where I work is not one of them.

So very SORRY for all people losing jobs/work/money.Is smart for trailers to have interiors done where they are make so not having to ship/pull and use alot extra time and fuel to have livingquarters done.Still sad for people in IN.We were up at Sundowner in IN and was really cool to see entire process being done etc.

Whoever wins the election in November is in for a really bad time trying to undo the deficit and the lack of worldwide respect the US has now. I wouldn't want the job!

Sorry about the job situation. My family is on the same boat - don't when the rug will be pulled out from under us - forget about retiring. In Alaska they say jumping from ice berg to ice berg. Please try to stay posted your knowledge is important but your friendship is priceless. Sadens my heart to lose another one to this ecomony. Good Luck and God Bless.

gee could someone point out the bad bush policies? ( here is a hint- they will be policies embraced and supported by the left)
presidents...all presidents...have gotten the blame or the credit even if they didn't deserve it. There are a host of ecomoinc problems most of which can be directed to bad policies adopted by the left. Before we get into a poiltical catfight, in which the left will lose, lets remember there are a host of reasons a business, any business, will fail. This ecomony isn't nearly as bad as many think,we ever never in a recession and ecomonic growth is occuring. But since its an election year and press wants a liberal, we will get typical leftist reporting.
BTW= barrack hussein Obama is his full name- thats a fact. Also a fact he was raised as a muslim.

Show's how slow I am, I thought they were talking about 8 years of bad policy decisions by Sundowner. Barrack Husein Osama' wife is the racist, but very well educated, and she is proud of it. Doesn't bother me, I'm just waiting for my reparations to come thru, then I can quit roping so hard.

Yep...8 years of bad policy decisions can hurt even the best of economies...
You ain't seen nothing yet,buddie!!!
During the Final Debate between Carter and Reagan...
In his final statement, Reagan delivered a knockout punch: "Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment...than there was four years ago?" Reagan's rhetorical questions, carefully rehearsed but delivered with his characteristic power, pierced Carter's presidency and helped cement Reagan's legacy as the Great Communicator. "Certainly no one remembers what the hell Carter said that night," says Rick Shenkman, a presidential historian at George Mason University. "It was Reagan's debate." A week later, it was Reagan's election.
Well, The rhetorical question is, is anyone on this forum better off NOW than they were four years ago?

Yes I am, Just about double the income from 4 tears ago. My 401K is up about 50% from 4 years ago. I quess one thing has not gotten any better from 4 years ago, ............ my roping. Seems like I am still just the added money at most events. I think if most people answer your question honestly they will find they are better off than 4 years ago. No doubt that there are a few like 3 yr. that are finding themselves in a tough spot. I have found out through experience though if you are a hard worker and determined to suceed that America is a place that rewards those values, don't believe me............... just look at the candidate for president that you support. While I don't think that he is up to the job of the presidency, he surely has suceeded in America through hard work, not the handouts that he supports so heavily.

Me too !. I'm better off today than I was 4 years ago.
Let's look at the elephant... We have been at War since 2001. We still don't have rationing or real hardship by the citizenry. It is costing us much blood and treasure. Many of us have forgotten the war. I believe is important to our future just as any past war(conflict) was important. Perhaps more so, since the end result is not known yet.

Let's see...in the past four years I have paid off my mortgage, bought 40 more acres, two vehicles, my IRA has doubled, and I am making more money, so yes...I am. Most people being honest will say yes....now compared with one year ago...different story...
