With the budget shortfall thousands of jobs will be cut in the state and our schools. Today they cut one thousand teaching jobs.
Not surprising. States were propping up their budgets with the stimulus money. Governor Perry was more than happy to
ask for $4 billion in education funding from the stimulus. With that money drying up and no more on the way, states are cutting jobs in education and other public sector positions.

Even the gas prices have started to rise.
Oil has risen with the unrest and instability in the Middle East. It was actually somewhat depressed before due to the economy and lack of people driving or transporting goods.

I don't see a good picture out there for jobs or even buying clothing. Even orange juice is going to be costly because of the new blight.
I have no idea what buying clothes has to do with anything. Likewise, a blight on oranges will lower supply and raise prices no mater what condition the economy is in. Jobs are still hurting with 9% unemployment and likely won't see strong movement until 2012 or so.
