John,

The info you posted might be good, but it doesn't show what those numbers are made of. With the higher cost of energy and food, the numbers might be skewed. Basically, the money is going to a small number of companies where the rest of the country is suffuring.

As for hurting ... I'm a member of Freecycle and just a few weeks ago, a elderly woman posted a request for help. All she wanted was someone to come and help her get a garden together because the rising cost of food and the fixed income she was on. She was lucky because of the members of Freecycle and she had a little land to garden. Others in the city or in a townhome can't even put a garden up.

BTW, I do agree we are not technically in a recession.
