Yes, it's still all about the economy. When you're grasping at straws, any little piece of good news helps

It would appear that the economy, for the time being, isn't getting any worse, and might actually be improving a bit. We'll see what the Friday employment numbers bring, but I'm betting they will show a MODEST improvement. But threats still lurk behind the shadows, and there's no way we're going to grow the economy enough to handle the employment demands of all the new prospective workers entering into the job market.
But every little bit helps...

Sluggish economy going the wrong way
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/recession-now-much-more-likely-2012-07-02
Manufacturing? Down
Auto sales? Forecast to decline well into next year
Job growth? Sluggish, and getting weaker
European economies? In trouble
Consumer confidence? Down
Consumer spending? Down
And now we have a new expensive healthcare bureaucracy to look forward to starting next year, should our current President gets re-elected.
I don't know about you, but I'm not feeling all warm and fuzzy inside right now.
But hey, at least gas prices are dropping....
