Default Fewer Students

The FBO that I instruct at here in the midwest is scary slow right now (and has been for quite some time). For all you instructors out there are you seeing less students lining up to get their certs and ratings? Less GA activity and airport use overall? With the economy in the dumper it's hard to rationalize spending thousands of dollars for flight training, and those $100 hamburgers add up quick! I even saw ATP had lowered their prices for the career program.
