“I think it has improved a little, but it is because of the stimulus money which I think is helping people a little.”

“I think it is changing, but slowly. The Obama stimulus package may be helping just a little. But it’s changing very slowly.”

“I think it’s worse .. look at the cigarette tax pushing a carton of cigarettes up $10 and look at the gas prices, going up every week.”
Thomas Bowerman
Dry wall installer
“It’s getting worse. Food prices are still going up, not coming back down after the high gas prices, and the jobs aren’t there. How can you say things are better when there are no jobs around here.”

“As far as I see it, people are ripping other people off. I was selling ears of corn the other day and people were trying to rip me off so I wouldn’t make any profit at all. People are greedy.”
