You can blame who ever you want for this. However, the fact of the matter is, the economic impact is happening and its as real as it gets. You can keep on telling yourself "its just the flu" and it probably is for 90% of us. But that does nothing in regards to what we're seeing on a global economic level. The impact is happening. It's real. And its serious. I hope we all prepared accordingly. I know I did, and I'm still very concerned about my financial future.
