Bad economic combination

Post by wkuhillhound »

July retail sales dip and jobless claim goes up!

After the positive news in the auto industry more things suffer. It just further reinforces the consumer's incapability of contributing to the growth of the economy this time around. People are continuing to focus on increasing their savings and decreasing debt. DUH!!!!

When 70% of your economic activity is based on consumer spending, this is not a good sign at all.

Foreclosures are up 32% from this month last year. :shake:

Yeah, it's the expense of providing it for the OTHER 280 million that I'm worried about. :coffee:

:rofl: Reps
"Sarah Palin absolutely blew AWAY the audience tonight. If there was any doubt as to whether she was savvy enough, tough enough or smart enough to carry the mantle of Vice President, she put those fears to rest tonight. She took on Barack Obama DIRECTLY on every issue and exposed... She did it with warmth and humor, and came across as the every-person....it's becoming mroe and more clear that she was a genius pick for McCain."
