Re: "Consumer confidence ... is up."

What a Pollyanna cheerleader right-wing dope you are. Industrial output numbers are rivaling those from the Great Depression and you're playing the role of Mary Sunshine on speed. What a dolt you are.

Industrial Production Tumbles 1.1% In 13th Straight Month of Decline

A WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE 11-16-01

WASHINGTON -- Industrial production plunged in October for the 13th month in a row, the longest string of declines in manufacturing activity since the Depression.

The Federal Reserve reported Friday that output at the nation's factories, utilities and mines plummeted by 1.1% last month, on top of a big 1% decline in September.

The 13-month stretch of declining activity marked the longest period of falling industrial output since a 15-month stretch that ended in July 1932.
