..........does this scare the crap out of anyone besides me?

No, there won't be any name-calling and finger-pointing from me - let's just get together on something and see if we can fix the problem. The scariest part of the chart is the fact that the green line has not bottomed out yet. I hope the bottom is soon to come and a recovery on the horizon. This is the time for all Americans to come to the aid of their fellow citizens and do something for the collective good of all. I just hope that American business owners will just hang in there and not run. Sure, it'll be a long, hard road; but I know Americans can pull this off! Our failure would be our own decision not to stand and fight through this situation.
