My point was more about buying low end capital items like cars, refrigerators etc. Or even low cost vacations which spur local economies. Surely not houses in the SF Bay area. I think people are holding onto cash and are afraid to spend. It is similar to what the banks are doing. Their confidence in the future needs some propping. This is something that a President can play a major role in. And Bush being AWOL certainly does not help even though he is a lame lame-duck. wonder why these world leaders are even here talking to Bush this weekend.
