   Yes, we are seeing the same things here. It's bad enough we lost over   
   30,000 jobs in one industry last month but now we keep hearing about   
   business expansions or new ones planning to move here that are being   
   cancelled, or at least postponed..

   I'm not sure you, as an American, should call joining you 'crappy'..  B)
