spending up or down?


They say personal spending is up due to the clunkers program. Well, I tell you that this is bunk. OK as more people lose jobs, spending goes down. Think of it this way. A restaurant has fewer customers, they buy cheaper plates and tip less. The result people are let go.

Telling me that all is fine will not wash. It is obvious that sales this coming Christmas will be just awful. Expect poor news.
