Reply #32: Maybe if it all happened at once [View All]

You would be surprised at how businesses can twist their bottom line, if they don't see something sustainable happening. For example, if there are only 3 or 4 states involved in this construction 'boom'. Stores like Lowes would just ship materials from other states to make up their dwindling inventory in the state that needs the material.

What the economy needs is a good slap in the face, just to wake up. Putting even 500 people back to work in my city of 100,000, wouldn't even make a dent in the economy. Just think, my small pretty stable city, probably has at least 5,000 people out of work, probably more, so 500 out of 5,000, is too little to make a difference.
