Do you think gas prices will affect lake traffic this summer?

I guess I should have said "as bad as it has been in my 21 years".
I'm sure business and the economy in the lakes region is in no real danger, as there is a lot of "old money" in the area. People who are wealthy, and retired.
But to say something like
" can't figure out if these "poor economic times" are reality, or just self-imposed and self-fulfilling prophecies from the doom and gloom crowd in an election year. "
is an insult to everyone who gets up and grinds away each day, just to make ends meet, as they watch there 401k dis-appear.
How's this for real world??????????? In the city I work in, there are currently 317 homes in forclosure. 317!!!! How many investors are getting burned, never mind the poor souls losing their homes. This is very real.
