Critique: Are people making the crisis a bigger deal than it is?

In a recent post by Anna R., the discussion of whether or not people are making the 'financial' crisis a bigger deal than it is was raised. In the article Anna recites a conversation that she had with a woman in her hair salon over her thoughts about the financial crisis. The woman stated that she disagreed with a Fox News Report about the disparity of our economy. The woman stated that she had felt little impact in her day-to-day routines and she felt that the economy wasn't in as much turmoil as the news proclaims that the world is in. However I disagree with this woman's statements, just like anything I write on here can be considered my opinion, I feel that her opinion may be distorted due to her personal view on the world. Nothing in her life may have changed in the sense that she still has the same clientele and may preform the same daily habits, but the current economic crisis has definitely made quite an impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of lives around the US. I think as time goes on the effects of the financial strain will linger and be more potent. The market crashed roughly 6 months ago. In my opinion it will take a little longer than 6 months for everyone to be individually impacted by financial crisis.
