I work for a capital equipment company in medical imaging. Times are very tough. Uncertainty in the future and the significant cuts in reimbursement are stalling new equipment purchases, R&D and adoption of new technologies.

On a personal level...cell phone bill $260/mo (5 smart phones) is outrageous. Food prices going up steadily, at $3/gallon+ gas is taking a huge bite compared to a few years ago. And of course, much instability in employment has many talented people on the street or worried about same.

Had some good years up until around 2008. Very tough since then.
