Things are getting better here. Yup, still spending more than I'm taking in. The weed out process is happening and its a blood bath. The reason its getting better is because things are wearing out. I do service work. It took a couple of moths last time Bush senior left the reigns for the dollar to recover. Jr and Chaney really screwed the pooch. I have never heard so much ignorance on spending and economics, ever. Its like I am living in a fairyland where we think the Government has no business orchestrating an economic recovery. Their name is on the money.
What we are facing is a good ol fashion inflationary spiral. The people with money just don't want to go in that direction. The people in politics just don't want to get the blame. Make assets unvaluable and that leaves money, and you cant eat money. We've been had, big time.
OK what to do now.
ADVERTISE! A LOT! That should be one of the most important elements of your budget. Cold call, newspaper, internet, email spam. Use what base you have gotten to extent your work forces. Reduce rates and get on the other side of the supply demand curve (yes Keynesian was right), and sell. Its going to turn around. Momentum will make it so. In the mean time sell.
