Yorkiegirl I am sorry your dad lost his business. I just cant imagine the struggles of the small business person. My Husband has a small business and so far its been unaffected

Thank you <3. He struggled and fought to the very end, but it was just too much. Luckily he is the kind that pays for everything in cash and doesn't owe anything to anyone, but he is without a job so that is tough on his family right now. My 3 step siblings are still young (all under 13) and he's concerned about them, and he's hoping even in this economy he can find something. I have hope he will!

With Obama getting elected, EVERY small business is going to be hit hard. I think a lot of people just don't unerstand this. So many people who voted did not educate themselves on the issues. Make you sad. Esp. if you family owns a small business.

This is what I'm afraid of also. my hubby works for a small business, and I hope and pray it doesn't go under. I guess time will tell, but, there are a lot of small businesses even around here closing, and I'm only in a town with about 10,000 people. Now, they're talking about another stimulus check, but, I'm totally against it. Sure, it's nice, but, it puts our country in deeper when they start spending more than we have...

My Husband heard on the radio today that Target is closing one of its Southside stores and it would affect 80 jobs. Its most likely the one closest to me. Luckily there is a superstore one that is about a 10 minute drive on the interstate. I love the one by us though it was so convenient

Oh I understand it and it's not the only fear I have.
