The American consumer accounts for roughly 70% of this nation's economy.
In other words- if we don't spend- the economy doesn't grow.
In September- the Associated Press reports that another 263,000 jobs disappeared- and the unemployment is now reported to be 9.8% of the American working population.
It's reported too that since the "recession (depression)" began in December 2007- more than 7.2 million jobs have been lost in this Land of The Welfare Millionaires.
To the morons who've recently said this "recession (depression)" is over- I hope somebody gives you pink slips- but they're probably already wearing them.
