Was visiting parents this weekend and asked "So what do you both think about the economy?". Mom says things are improving and she constantly hears that it's going to keep getting better. My father looks at her, shakes his head, and says "Woman, we are both lucky that I am the one who makes the investment decisions!"

Exactly. It's all bread and circuses to divert the masses from the real crims at Giant Squiddie, Inc...... Kunstler had it right in his piece: Polls are reporting a steep slide in President Obama's approval ratings, especially among white voters. I doubt that this is about the health care debate, which obviously remains unresolved at the time the polls were taken. I think it is about Mr. Obama's shoveling of huge sums into Wall Street, and the unabated obscene money-grubbing by the executives there -- while millions of ordinary people get thrown out of their houses, lose jobs that they'll never get back, and slip-slide permanently out of the middle class. His relations with Wall Street are destroying his legitimacy. His failure to demonstrably clean house at the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulators, or to direct the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute misdeeds stemming from the swindles and frauds in securitized debt, make him look like a stooge to the bankers.
