Stand your ground and don't pussy-out on price...
... truth is a lot of companies still have money and aren't spending it due to the constant negative press... granted there are plenty going through hard times too... that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your time and money.
You'll notice that a lot of companies are cutting back internally - laying off people, closing divisions of their companies or just cutting projects - all to make sure they TURN A PROFIT...
... we should all be doing the same.
If you can - don't accept less money... or just decline the project. I've kind of 'fired' a couple of clients lately as I'm not willing to bend over and give them near free work because they're 'going through 'hard times'... ...yet still managing to haul around town in their little Range Rovers etc. ;)
Yes - there are legitimate cases where being 'charitable' w/your time is perfectly acceptable... even 'human'. :) Just don't fall into the trap that because times are tough... there's no money. That is indeed 'bullshit'... stand your ground and do a little research on who you're working for before you just give in.
