Is there a Lefty boiler room somewhere that just churns out these headlines: “What sounds good to you? I don’t know man. We did one on the housing boom already. Is it time to churn out another unemployment increases less than expected yet? How about Leading Economic Indicators Surge? Cool, I like it. Nobody knows what it means. Nice and vague, but upbeat. OK, send it over”.

Well, I have to disagree--and I'm in Dayton, a massively distressed city. It appears to be a two-tiered economic situation. Auto plants are shut---you can drive down Dixie and see shuttered buildings for over two miles. But the suburbs appear to be thriving; restaurants and malls are full of shoppers; you wait everyhwere to buy something. They have started building some more houses in our subdivision after stalling for a year (these ain't cheap) and the one next to us, with the "mega mansions" just added several more. Many of these are paid for.

Now, I don't know where the money is coming from, and clearly the auto workers, Delphi, NCR, and so on, can't be supporting this. WPAFB hasn't expanded. Not one big new business has come into the region---but people sure act like they have money.
