Fleet and Commercial Trucks for GM I've haven't been this busy in years. I think we should turn off the TV and get back to work. Stop listening to the doom and gloom of the media and make your dough.
So how is YOUR business in this economy?

Contractor... concrete and excavation, pumping and demo too. Kind of a niche, still busy. 50/50 residential/commercial. We've got good work for several months on the books now, but the calls have tapered off the past months. In some ways it's good...I don't have to say no so often.. 
I agree..it's not that bad out there, but the perception is, so people are holding on to their money. Anyone say trickle down..??

Metal building industry. We were rocking earlier this year but about September the sales slammed shut and it's been bad ever since. Fall is usually a busy time of year for the industry but not this year.

Engineer for an "ag parts" maker. Post hole digger, log splitters, hard parts...Sales this year are on track to be 20% over last year, which was 25% over the previous year. Can't ship product out fast enough!
Trent Loos said on his radio show, if people would quit listening to the news and look around, 90% of the country wouldn't see any problem...
Banking and the auto industry and some local economies are down...other than banking and auto it is normal up and down...
For banking and auto (make high risk loans for years and surprised that it bites you???, almost 300 retired workers supported for every 100 active workers at GM...get rid of legacy costs and pay what assemblers SHOULD make and car prices could drop by 40% ) they are getting what was coming... painful? Yes. A suprise? NO!

Public ownership of key industries (banks, auto makers, insurance, etc) is a bad idea.
We have an interesting situation on hand. It's payback time and the Democrats need to return the favor for Union election votes to the union bosses - in the form of $25 Billion. (vs $600million cost of Obama campaign) However, they forgot one little detail - the money needs to flow through company management for the US populace to live with it. Democrats HATE the auto companies. They've been polar opposites for eternity - with Democrats siding with Unions because of the number of votes the unions control.
While no one wants Chapter 11 for Detroit.
Guess who made this bed?
