The well-to-do have money to burn, he said, while a family of four with a $40,000 income is "pressed tremendously" because of rising gas prices and health care costs.

Oh really? How about stinkin' taxes for everything under the moon?

Blows me away how so many either can't see or ignore this factor.

This is an interesting thing. This weekend the MSM starts this drumbeat of how our deficits are too high and that the rest of the world is pulling its money out of the US because of deficits and our poor savings habits.
Now they are crying about how people are not spending enough!
I belive that the rest of the world NEEDS us to be big spenders to keep their economies running. Who will the chinese sell all that stuff they are building to? If the rest of the world is not spending and buying like we are who will the Japaneses of the Europeans gonna sell all their stuff to?

5.6-.7 unemployment used to be thought of as FABULOUS! almost FULL EMPLOYMENT. Now we are told that it is practically a new depression out there. It seems to me that the MSM should be HAPPY that we are not buying so much. Why are they complaining?
