“Our customers are low on incoming cash flow. This started in the second week of Nov. 2007 and has not changed yet. Our customers see no sign of recovery on the horizon. Our individual health care insurance jumped from $88.00 per month per person in Nov. 2009 to $979.00 per month after the last fiasco with the Senate in Nov./Dec. 2009.”
