Recovery Summer!

I’m living proof of that. I’m in retail; manage a garden center. We’re a TAD ahead of last year, which surprised the heck outta me, but that was due to reducing staff and not loading up on inventory.

I still have a LOT of stuff to sell, but my year ends on September 30th, so I have a while to do it.

It’s been tough sleding since about mid-June. We’re only making a buck because we’ve cut expenses in every possible place we can. We are to the bone now, and hopefully don’t have to go to the marrow!

Recovery my Aunt Fannie!! And the Midwest has been greatly insulated from the rest of the USA this time around. But it’s here now, that’s for certain.

We are going to need some major distractions from this...”

Obama to Blame:

1) Oil Spill in Gulf
2) Sarah Palin’s mean words
3) George Bush
4) Greedy Corporations
5) Fox News
6) ‘bitter clinger’s’

Oh well, we all get the point...

There seems to be an increasingly inverse relationship between news and economic data. More and more I hear people on NPR talk about the recovery, how big it is, will it be sustained, will events on the other side of the world derail our ongoing recovery, blah, blah, blah.

Meanwhile, the economic data seems to relentlessly indicate that there is no recovery at all.
