"Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse."

                         Lily Tomlin

So there are degrees of worse? HUmm, interesting. So the economy is really bad, but economists are predicting by next spring it will only be bad. I'm so confused!

It's hard to tell the difference when you are struggling to feed your family and keep your house from being repo-ed and competing with millions of other job hunters for just thousands of jobs. But like Lilly said, things can only go up.
