Economy; I Don’t Understand,some Help Please?

if the economy is so bad, then why does everybody i know, including myself, doing so much better than we were four years ago? we are all in service industry businesses as either small business owners, employees or self-employed sub-contractors. (carpet cleaning, pest control,landscaping, phone sales, trucking etc.etc.) ….people are buying our services! i don’t know a single person who’s finances have not improved in these last few years.

Carpet Cleaning Machine Help Please?

I am looking into buying a good carpet cleaning machine. I have looked at some brands like Bissel (spelling?)… and Hoover. Anyone know anything about them or own one? Are the supplies for them expensive? I also want something that wont leave a residue. Thanks for any help!
