Z -- You are right about substance abuse going up during hard economic times. That has been proven already. On the other hand, many times the government turns its back on the problem and allows a lot of that to happen. A growing problem in this country right now is the abuse of prescription pain killers.....it is a huge problem. But, it sure does keep the bottom line of the various pharmacuetical (sp) companies happy.
In some parts of the country, the economy is so bad that we are even seeing some bars and nightclubs going out of business. When bars start going out of business, you know it is really bad.
