It did not take long for the "don't worry be happy" crowd to get on this thread. But then again, most of them do not have a grasp of history before 1980.

The "always worry, never be happy, we're all gonna die" crowd always gets here first. Good economic news deprresses you guys more than it does Tom Daschle.

Probably educated in public schools too. (/sarcasm)

The problem with the optimistic crowd is they are too easily pleased by superficial glitter. To mix metaphors, it is like the 2% increase in durable goods orders is the tasty frosting on a cake. The optimists chomp into the pretty frosting, oblivious to the rotting, decaying, putrid dough underneath (the credit and debt bubble).
