Everything seems odd to me. It seems like the economy is fine where I am at. People are happy. Prices are going up. Product sizes are getting smaller. Housing costs are going up. Starbucks seems to do good business. It is hard to get a job. Nobody complains.

Maybe people are in denial.

“I have to cutback to save money and survive.” That’s a sure sign of a robust economy.
