Been laid off for 15 months and today just got a job that I start on Jan. 3rd. making less then half of what I use to make. And I didn't make much before. Let's just say as a single person I was just bearly considered middled class. But now, with my new job I definitely qualify in the underemployed, poor, lower class category. Yes, isn't America just wonderful. With my new job not starting until Jan. 3rd retailers should not count on me. And they should not look forward to seeing any money from me next year and the year after that and the year after that. Look for me in 2008 if a Democrat is elected. But I not...well let's just say I'll be Ms. Scrooge.
