I fairly agree with this statement, this is exactly what a lot of small to medium size American business owners were/are concerned in terms of how the bailout will help jumpstart their sales. The underlying problem is not the money, but demand for their services. Now you have received numerous potential job oppurtunities, which may not be a reliable sign of improvement, but you head to a pub on Friday night and if 7 out of 10 people you talk to has a job, then thats one. This is how I'll measure it :-)

Now that I believe we are starting to finally see some signs of life, the purse strings are loosening up!
