The national fish wrapper,
USA Today, reports on consumer confidence in the financial house of cards that is our economic system. 78% of those polled by Gallup think "things" are getting worse.
USAT, which likes to "keep it simple," doesn't explain if this:
Overall, only 20% of Americans are satisfied with the direction of the country, the most dismal reading since May 1992, according to the survey of 1,014 adults Nov. 11-14.
refers only to economic factors, or if it reflects a general dissatisfaction w/ the socio-political course we seem to be on. Look for fewer jobs & higher prices though:
The Gallup data are also backed by a forecast released Monday from 50 leading business economists, who expect growth to slow significantly in coming months and inflation to tick up.
On a more positive note: Well, nothing. Not a damn thing. Nihil.
