"Really, other than gas going up, it hasn't affected me. That doesn't mean it won't before everything's done, though."

Dana Haywood

"I really think it shouldn't have taken Washington two years to find out we were in trouble when we all knew that long before."

Heath McClung

"I don't know if the bailout was the right thing to do or not, but the government had to do something, I guess. We'll see if it helps any."

Jessie Petty

"We haven't really changed a lot of things we're doing. We may have cut back on movies and such things some. What I'm more worried about is my kids' futures."

Tina Lindsey

"With gas prices being higher, I don't drive any more. I walk everywhere now."
