I can't see a bright side to this at all either and it's depressing. I am extremely worried about everything, and I work in the banking industry so of course I am worried about our bank going under and me losing my job, etc. I deal with panicking people every day that make me worry even more! It is crazy, and I feel so bad that it's putting off us having children. I just can't bring a child into this world right now and have to worry about feeding them, etc. :( Everything is so sad!

it’s sad that i’ve come to rely on my unemployment checks because my job doesn’t provide substantial income…

I am also stocking up on dry and canned goods, just in case. We have a cushion and will most likely be fine, but you never know what is going to happen. This may sound extremist but I think that there is probably going to be a depression. This bailout may just put the depression off for a year or two, but I do think it will happen. There is just too much bad debt out there.
