Well, there is that, but I have to laugh or I’ll cry. My retirement acct. doesn’t even send me quarterly updates anymore. They’re probably afraid to.

On CNBC I heard that of all the housing stock in the USA 50% is “distressed”.

The special election here in California, which just about approving the bond measure that the state house could not decide upon, are not doing so well.

When they fail more cuts and pain are certian.

Great post SusanUnPc.

But Reagan cut government taxes and spending during the recession. Obama intends to spend us all into prosperity. Seriously, who believes this is going to work? Obama doesn’t believe it himself, that is why he holed away the ACORN money for 2010 while the getting was good. He knows good and well what he is doing to this country. He also knows that by 2010 there will be no more real money and no more Chinese credit cards.

75 percent of Americans have either lost their job or have a friend, neighbor or relative who has been laid off. Sixty percent say they fear sudden unemployment would mean filing for bankruptcy. Fifty percent say they couldn’t support themselves for more than a month without a paycheck.

Consumer confidence will follow?

A false confidence. Just like marginal spending–money that is NOT there. There is NO There THERE. This is not change, it’s chance, and not a very good chance at that. The only chance left is that congress will rebel against the $$$$$$$$trillions Obama would like to get his name on. Where will all this money come from? At the moment there is not that many dollar bills on the planet earth.

Whew, thank God you cleared that up, Portia. Steven Kroft was calling to ask if you are “punch drunk.”

I wonder how they’ll fudge those answers in Obama’s favor. According to AP it’s all good:

The recession has been longer and deeper than that. In fact, the only time a year before the word finally crossed AWOL’s lips thatwe were in positive ground aside from rebate time was due to fuzzy math.

That’s right, Cheney’s Iraq boondoggle w/Haley Barbour, New Bridge Strategies, bridges to nowhere on steroids! THAT money and the use of imported labor to Iraq(You’re a Better Contractor than I, Gunga Din) all got counted as USA job creation.

That’s why Condi had to schedule visits to Iraq around her shoe sale itinerary. Someone had to lie about job creation enough to bush news of the implosion back.

A lot of Americans see us headed the right direction now, consumer confidence will follow.
