My bad.

Sorry about the words, I was caught up in the moment.

I'm sure there are whole sections of the economy not yet effected by the mortgage crisis but the construction industry is not one of them. I could give you a ton of anecdotal evidence but the next round of employment numbers should start to speak for themselves.

Memo?

Using the present state of the economy as a political football is insulting. Expected, but still insulting.
