Demand driven.

Are we economically demand driven as a country. We have the supply of absolutely everything we could possibly need. But we currently don't seem to have the demand for these items.

We are seeing more and more companies close there doors. This is due to the decrease in demand for their products. When the close there are more people in the country who have less money to spend. This inturn causes another steep decrease in demand.

We are in a downword spiral that is causing prices to increase. I am frightened to think what milk and butter will cost me next week. I have to have these things but I know that the prices are just going to keep increasing until I can no longer afford them.

Our current economy is a scary thing. We're seeing the prices of things that we don't necessarily need to purchase go down in cost, but the things that we need for survival are continuing to rise. It's going to take a lot more sacrifice for people just to put food on the table. It's a sad situation.
