Bailout Fallout: “They all feel poor.”
Even before the Dow threw up , there was this story about how the economy is effecting the average American: Cowed by the financial crisis, American consumers are pulling back on their spending, all but guaranteeing that the economic situation will get worse before it gets better. In response to the falling value of their homes and high gasoline prices, Americans have become more frugal all year. But in recent weeks, as the financial crisis reverberated from Wall Street to Washington, consumers appear to have cut back sharply. Even with the government beginning a giant bailout of the financial system, their confidence may have been too shaken for them to resume their free-spending ways any time soon. So how bad is it, really? ...According to interviews with shoppers, analysts and company executives, the impact of the financial news of the last two weeks has been palpable in many corners of the country, from car dealerships, which endured the worst month for sales in 15 years, to the f...

Ward, owner of Bo’s Barber Shop across from Fort Campbell’s Gate 1 entrance, had said the rezoning would increase his property value, allowing him to secure a loan to offset debt he incurred when he expanded his shop. The council approved first reading of the request last month, when Ward tearfully explained that his barbershop would go under — with most of the 101st Airborne deploying to Iraq — if the council did not approve the request. “If this (zone change) doesn’t go through, I lose my home, I lose my shop, I lose everything I got,” he said then. After Thursday’s 5-7 vote was cast, Ward stood and walked steadily toward the council. “Johnny (Piper), I know I can’t speak,” Wa...
