"It's just a great big black hole":

That's how The New York Times reports one machine toolmaker in Michigan as feeling about the current economic state, with unemployment now reaching a twenty-five-year high of 8.1 percent.

The problem is now so bad that American universities are advising college students not to travel to Mexico during spring break. (See the NPR story.)
