"But we've stagnated again."

To my mind, you can track that directly to the (R)'s taking the House. Which was Obama's fault, for not making JOBS job #1 on day 1.

Z, > Within a few weeks of when the stimulus passed, lots of people knew their jobs were safe for a while, schools, firehouses, police stations, etc knew they weren't closing for the next couple of years.... that increased consumer confidence and thus spending. And it got better from there, for a while. But we've stagnated again.

In other words, you think ephemeral feelings had that much of an impact on consumer confidence.
