Supply and Demand.

[carol b]

Supply and demand is the basis on which business runs. If people want something and there isn't enough to supply them all. Demand causes the manufacturer to increase production.

Both can make or break a company as we have recently seen with auto manufacturing. The supply is there but the demand is low. This has created a domino effect. From the top down we are seeing job cuts.

With these job cuts there is a loss of wages. With the loss of wages their is less demand for other goods. These companies now have had to cut employees and many have closed down entirely.

With out an equal amount of supply and demand we see bad things happen economically. This is a basic elementary economics fact. Sad but true.

We sure are in a huge mess and things won't get fixed quickly. There is no quick fix to this, I don't care what any of the politicians say. It is going to take a very long time for us to be whole again.
