US Consumer Confidence Down Again

[Velociryx]

No Kid, and again I would ask you not to put words in my mouth.

I have never said you were a loser, but I WILL say this again (you'll have it memorized after a while!). If you want to get ahead economically, repeat after me:

1) spend less than you earn
and
2) buy something that increases in value over time

Tough to remember, I know, but I have confidence that you'll get it!

And if I don't save money, and I don't, doesn't that make me a loser according to you?

This is what I am really afraid of: This winter gas and electric charges are expected to rise 40% due to a shortfall on natural gas from a greater proportion of power companies using natural gas instead of oil, coal or water due to its cleanliness. That could put an extreme damper on our economy. I got this information from the WSJ last week.

Man, if those western power companies weren't so greedy as to fake the whole California power crisis to rake in the millions, our economy might not be quite as bad as it is.

I really don't think that is the case. Not that they weren't greedy but that it damaged the economy. I think it was minimal at best.
