    Same here, and heard from the county manager during his meeting with them they said that by the first of june they would be completley shut down.(Bombardier Recreational Products) More jobs going to china or god knows were. This was their only casting facility in the US.

    Its going to get worse before it gets better. I have never seen it this bad. I see it from the bottom of the spectrum. My loans have never been this high during tax season. I also have more very desirable items for sale than ever. Do buy anything new. See a local pawn store for some really good deals right now.
