Evidence of cutting back.....I have 2 friends that own restraunts. They have reported that their week day sales have gone down dramaticly as has the traffic in the area over the last month. Weekends are as good as they ever were-but week days have been cut back dramatically.

Our Metro (bus) reports an increase in ridership. I pass a stop on the way to school-there are more folks not only waiting, but more passenger on the bus (I have observed this same bus this entire school year).

I drive the speed limit-I notice fewer folks passing me up.

Sorry if that doesn't fit your preconcieved notions. Folks are cutting back.
