...What with the economy and all...

  Um, I'm confused. Why does the media keep hyping up the recession, because the more they make people nervous the worse it is for the economy. My goodness it's not funny. It's really bad. It's like a self fulfilling prophecy. Somebody needs to say, everybody keep spending and work extra hard, America. The only thing to fear is fear itself. That's absolutely true. When somebody warns somebody about something, the point isn't to be right and say "I told you so." The point is to prevent the thing from occurring, and that ain't the way it works when it comes to forecasting the economy. You tell everybody, "be careful. the economy's gonna go downhill," and what's gonna happen? I'm not sure how the media can benefit from a recession, but maybe everybody will be at home watching tv instead of working, but then advertisers might not pay as much cuz the demographics don't got the same kind of cash as before, so I don't know. I guess the answer for us little people is to stay optimistic and not talk the economy down any further and work twice as hard. Come on America! We're tough.
