&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;An intriguing story out of Dallas in today&#39;s &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; about the domino effect of losses and cutbacks set off by one man&#39;s layoff. The story details how one member of the Smith family -&amp;nbsp;aptly named, as the family and their struggles come to represent those of&amp;nbsp;the typical, &quot;everyman&quot; American family throughout the article -&amp;nbsp;loses his job, which creates a ripple through his suburban town and even reaches as far as Finland. The story is an example of how just one person getting laid off can lead to a chain reaction, wherein that individual&#39;s family must make cutbacks which can then&amp;nbsp;result in downturns and losses for local businesses and service providers who once counted on that family&#39;s business. This ripple continues on up the line to suppliers and manufacturers, and the Smiths&#39; story&amp;nbsp;brings to light the many complications that everyone is now being forced to face by the economic&amp;nbsp;recession.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&quot;&#39;I understand that we need to spend money to get the economy moving,&#39;&quot; the article quotes Mr. Smith, &quot;but he doesn&#39;t feel like he can afford that.&quot; His story underscores the plight of many today, and the article does a good job bringing to light the idea that many can be affected by a single layoff, and the complicated intertwining of recession issues we hope to untangle. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A layoff in the Smith family ripples through town&lt;/strong&gt; [&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;--Posted by Steven Schiff, Vault News &amp;amp; Commentary&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
