Never in modern memory have Americans been so gloomy about their future.

If they're "gloomy" now, they are in for a very rude awakening if they elect "That One." They might want to get used to "gloomy."

like I said on anther thread, there may be spots that are not doing so well, but all the higher end restaurants we passed tonight were all full....and at least an hour or more wait at the high end restaurant we went to......

I don't see panic....I do see people shopping for what they need...enjoying themselves.....

Triple-A-rated tax-free bonds, an extraordinarily safe investment, are paying 5%-plus for ten years and 6% for 20. That's more than the Treasury offers for bonds of the same maturity.

The fact that AAA corporate bonds pay more than government bonds is almost always (maybe even always) true. They are considered riskier than government bonds, therefore they pay more.
