An Industry In Crisis
Congressional leaders in a letter to Treasury Secretary Paulson made it clear that struggling industries outside of the the credit market should share in the the $700 billion bailout. They want to bail out the auto industry.
Well, car makers are not the only people suffering. Freelance Graphic Designers need bail out help too.
When the economy gets tough, companies start cutting their advertising and marketing budgets meaning less work for Freelance Graphic Designers.
When credit is tight and entrepreneurs can't get money to start up new businesses the demand for new logos drops and there is less work for Freelance Graphic Designers.
When there is less work for Freelance Graphic Designers they earn a good deal less money. Before you know it Freelance Graphic Designers are having trouble making ends meet and buying the latest version of the Adobe Creative Suite. Soon growing numbers of Freelance Graphic Designers will be behind on their mortgages or rents. As large numbers of Freelance Graphic Designers are foreclosed or evicted society will be forced to deal with an epidemic of homeless Freelance Graphic Designers.
Congress is seeking $50 billion to bail out the auto makers. This bail out would cost much much less. $500,000 should fix me up quite nicely.
Thank you.

How about the computer geeks who perform support services for the freelance graphic designers? We need a bailout too! Where's my $500,000? Of course, if they give that kind of money to us all, $500k will not buy a pair of shoes down the road. Whoever gets the funny money first gets to spend it with the most purchasing power. I guess that's where Wall Street comes in.

Wayne,
When I get my sweet government bail-out check and by that new fully loaded MacPro - I'll have you come and set it up for me. See bail-outs trickle down!!
