i have always watched the budget. in the 70s-80s, i considered myself to be middle class. taxes and inflation havebeen horrible and real estate investments that used to be good have now been losses. now i feel that i am just barely hanging on to lower middle class. times are tough for everyone. of course we hate to see LQSs go out of business. but we can't blow the budget to keep someone else in business when it is difficult to get by for ourselves. all i can say is that i'm sorry to hear of their tough times.
