The recession is barely getting started.

It’s a poll based on calls to 5,000 people....

I wouldn’t get too excited, soon those 30 and under are going to come to the realization they were suckered by Obama and have to give up 17% of their paychecks for the government takeover of healthcare.

Bricks of Bizarre Kibal must be in town. Haven’t seen that since the 70’s. That would explain the confusion.

Sitting here looking for a job at present. I have never been out of work involuntarily in all my life and 30 years of work. I see jobs out there so maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I DON’T want a government job.

I’m confident that consumers are not confident consumers. To be a confident consumer, you have to confident in your consuming. This all so unexpected.<!/GREENSPAN>

Uuhh . . . it's just a number. Made of other numbers. One of them, the expectations number, is simply calculated by asking folks if they expect the economy to get better or worse over the next (whatever it is, I don't know) period of time.

There's no conspiracy to inflate the expectations number in order to affect the confidence index. In fact, confidence index looks right about where it should be.

I am about to confidently eat a cold weinie sandwich

The media, ordinarily illiterate and dishonest on the subject, has performed LAUGHABLY on the economy since Obama was coronated.

For example EVERY DAMN DAY ABC News tells us we've "turned the corner on the recession", and then offers a bit of evidence that has absolutely nothing to do with whether we're in or out of one. Today was the consumer confidence measure.

Honestly, I don't know how they can do it with a straight face.

[GeronL]

oh crap. And I just added a banana.

Too much consumin’ goin on!

[gleeaikin]

What about the poor folks who can’t be called because they don’t have phones. Bet their confidence is really up, hah!!

[TheBattman]

the ONLY sector that is seeing actual tangible job growth is GOVERNMENT jobs... Self-serving bastards.
