All Consuming

At noontime the DOW is up. Egyptian revolution be danged.

Investors are all abuzz. You, oh American consumer, are consuming more and saving less.

Old habits die hard, you ingrates.

According to some economists, your spending is directly linked to job growth. The more you spend, the more somebody else gets the chance to work.
