"Crisis hits home as consumers curb their spending" by Louis Uchitelle and Andrew Martin, New York Times News Service | October 6, 2008
Cowed by the financial crisis, American consumers are pulling back on their spending, all but guaranteeing that the economic situation will get worse before it gets better.
But, but, but.. we just got a Wall Street bailout!!! WTF?!!
In response to the falling value of their homes and high gasoline prices, Americans have become more frugal all year. But in recent weeks, as the financial crisis reverberated from Wall Street to Washington, consumers appear to have cut back sharply. Even with the government beginning a giant bailout of the financial system, their confidence may have been too shaken to resume free-spending any time soon.
Or we JUST DON'T HAVE the $$$, dink!!!
Recent figures from companies, and interviews across the country, show that automobile sales are plummeting, airline traffic is dropping, restaurant chains are struggling to fill tables, customers are sparse in stores - and even gamblers are cutting back.
That include McCain?
Consumers are cutting back on air travel and hotel stays, whether for business or pleasure.
GOOD!! Make the fuckers scream until this TYRANNY ENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Consumers have become quite concerned that the recession, which they think is already underway, will last longer than they anticipated and will be deeper," said Richard Curtin, director of the Reuters-University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers. "They see their worst fears coming true." --more--"
Oh, Americans, you DON'T EVEN KNOW how bad it is going to be!!!!!!!
This isn't a recession, this is a DEMOLITION of the U.S. ECONOMY -- per the GLOBALISTS PLANS!!!!!!
