The article quoted Adam York, an economic analyst at Wachovia Economics Group, as stating from a research note, "Consumers certainly appear to think the sky is falling."
I know I haven't stopped shopping, but a part of my brain feels weary of my finances in light of the current and progressively worrisome economic issues. Should I be more mindful of my mind seeing as the hording mentality is partially responsible for The Great Depression.
Gas prices have gone way done to try and stimulate commerce, which in turn pissed off the people struggling to buy gas to survive. I take no offense to people save their money instead of spending. I take offense to a government that got us into this problem and is now begging the rest of America to fix their mistakes. I understand this to be counter-productive. I understand this to be foolhardy and a waste of energy, but civic duty falls short in a trickle down effect from the top. It's not a cyclical system of influence as poli sci classes would have you believe.
