War is often an antidote to recession -- I suppose it depends on three things: How well the war goes. How high oil prices go. The degree to which we have contained terrorism. These are all hard to predict and in the meantime the consumer seems to be increasingly cautious. If the economy slows down much from here due to any negative consequences from the war we could be in for a rough ride. If for no other reason than to prevent a serious slump, I suspect the Administration to try to deny the immanent nature of the war. Mid-winter our time is the time to fight in that climate.

"oh yeah things are really bad. No recovery, I thought we'd see some pickup at least. Amazon is selling a lot of stuff though, and cell phones seem to be doing well" Liz, I am in no way doubting this but wonder how one would know this information. Have you notice that many many E-commerce site have gone to free shipping with a $50.00 order or greater? Something will have to give somewhere. Either a price increase to offset, etc. Just rambling thoughts LOL.
