What bad ecconomy?

So I keep hearing about this bad ecconomy and keep looking around wondering if it’s not just a bad housing market and the rest of the ecconomy is fine. Sure there are some bad signs out there that point to “doom & gloom” but I was out in Charlotte last weekend and the malls were all packed, the shops were full, people were out driving, and it was a mess to be honest.

I saw this in the paper and have to wonder if the media has not created some of these ecconomic problems, and while the “bail-outs” don’t seem to be helping we keep seeing record sales and such from other sectors?

It is sad when anyone dies, but the mad rush of people to go shopping is nuts. I think people who lived through the great depression are thinking the same thing, no one stood in line for toys and electronics during the depression, and I would submit we are not in one right now either.
