The fire is on the other side of the mountains. For now. I hope they get control of it, but the winds are whipping it up.

What is "enough consumption"? People always want to consume more if they can afford it. The problem now is that individuals, corporations, and governments have gone in to too much debt, that some investment that occurred was investment, not really as useful as it was thought and in some cases not useful at all, that governments spend and regulate too much and plan to spend and regulate more, that "not enough" is being produced to represent the types of gains in production and income that we are used to, and that people aren't very confident in the economy right now. That last and some other factors, could be considered to be, result in, or reflect "not enough demand" in certain ways, but simply saying "demand is low, more demand would be good", doesn't adequately represent economic reality, still less when you add "it would be beneficial for government to drive the demand by buying more".

Consumption shall remain low because of the record setting consecutive months of high unemployment under Obama. We have tremendous problems and we need a leader in Washington...BTW, where is Obama campaigning today?

The country has a problem with too much hot air ... from the democrats. Shutting off most of that would be a great boon to the nation as a whole.

Shoulder to cry on: Kelly Ripa joins Anderson Cooper on his heartbreak trip to Croatia - as it emerges he 'kicked cheating lover out and called off engagement' By John Stevens and Rachel Quigley 15 August 2012 dailymail.co.uk Shoulder to cry on: Kelly Ripa joins Anderson Cooper on his heartbreak trip to Croatia - as it emerges he 'kicked cheating lover out and called off engagement' By John Stevens and Rachel Quigley 15 August 2012 dailymail.co.uk Kelly Ripa has flown to Croatia to provide a much-needed shoulder to cry on for heartbroken Anderson Cooper, who escaped to the European destination after pictures of his long-term boyfriend kissing another man appeared online. The CNN anchor tweeted the Instagram image earlier today soon after it was reported he has kicked Ben Maisani out of their Manhattan apartment and called off their engagement. A source told the National Enquirer: 'Anderson was furious when he saw those photos. They caught him completely off-guard. 'Ben runs with a really fast crowd in New York and Anderson always knew that his boyfriend was exposed to young, hot gay men at his bar. But he also believed he could trust Ben to stay faithful to him.' Anderson Cooper tweeted this picture today Pictures of the Eastern Bloc bar owner kissing and canoodling with another man openly in a New York Park were first published by MailOnline on Sunday. Maisani was thought to have been on the trip with him when he saw the pictures. A source told Life & Style that the couple were already on vacation together when photos of the kiss were published exclusively by MailOnline on Sunday. ‘Anderson was with Ben in Croatia when he was told about the photos,’ the source said. ‘They were on a yacht. ‘They flew to Croatia on (Saturday) August 11, one day after the photos were taken. Anderson's upset - who wouldn't be?’ The source added that contrary to reports the couple do not have an open relationship and Anderson has been hit hard by the betrayal. Anderson has never spoken publicly about his relationship and has made no comment on the photos of his boyfriend. On Tuesday he tweeted for only the third time since the photos were published, posting a photograph of the sun setting over the sea with the caption ‘sunset’. Cohen, who is also gay, posted an almost identical picture on his Instagram feed. It has been rumoured that Kelly Ripa’s husband Mark Consuelos is also on the trip.
