    I am just waiting for P2 to end and/or confirm or show itself as ended. I dont believe any of the numbers or make believe fairy tales the gov't tries to tell about the economy. I can see for myself in the businesses around Indy that dire times are ahead. The manufacturing businesses here are closing up for good. Internatinal closed its engine business side. Their foundry continues to run but for how long? GM stamping plant will be closed in 2010. Diamond chain company has threatened its employees with leaving if they dont agree to a pay cut with the United steel workers union. The classified ads for jobs has gone from 12-16 pages on sunday to 1-2 pages on sunday. Recovery? Where? ISM above 50 now they say. What parts of the country support that number?
