Hearing all these great minds espouse their Ivy League theories about economics and how to solve the current problem.

Not one theory that I've heard involves the consumer giving up on their job, assumed to be buying everything in sight.

It's reasonable to think that the administration is implementing a Keynesian solution to a lack of consumer participation, but the consumer will never be back to fill their expected roll in this economy.

Carry on.

"consumer will never be back to fill their expected roll in this economy."

Is this the same consumer that puts his Cadillac Escalade up for sale when gas hits $4.00, and then buys it back when gas falls below $3.00??

I suspect as soon as he/she gets two consecutive months of growth in their 401's, they'll jump on the first solicitation for an intro rate of 3.90%.

This is how we live.
