Economic Downturn, Turn Up

Just how many people are experiencing the effects of this economic downturn is being reported by various statisticians. I know that stimulus funds have helped some banks and other financial institutions to improve their circumstances. But some credit card companies, affected by this downturn, are placing limits on small businesses; the price of gas is creeping upward; some food packages are reduced in size with higher price tags and the list goes on. President Obama has said in the past that financial issues are subject to make a negative turn before things get better. I am looking forward to the economic downturn that is in my path to turn up. A sudden upward turn would be awesome!
