I am watching fox news this am and Rodney Johnson is being interviewed.  He is saying things like Target and other stores are not issuing credit cards any more.  I just wanted to say that his information, in my opinion is only half correct.  I am self emplyed and have been for the past 14 years.  I have been in new construction for that entire period.  Since the turning of the market I have had to re-evaluate and adjust what I do.  I have been fortunate enough to make changes at critical times.  I just wanted to tell people that our markets are based on how Americans act.  We have people in the news and in all areas of government that want to control our lives and tell us that times are horrible.  I am not saying that inflation is not at an all time high, but things that are inflating at the astronmical rates now are things other than our real estate market.  I think it was only natural for the housing to slow down because at the rate it was going it had no place to go but down.  If we,  all Americans, go out and continue to spend (with in our means) the media, the government and the like can't  tell us that the econonmy is not healthy.  Places like Target and Best Buy ARE still giving credit.  However they are giving it to people with good credit scores. 

I say let's prove everyone wrong.  If we buy cars, houses, electronics, housewares, etc everyone will benefit.  The economy is based on us.  Let's make it work.
