Over a cup of coffee a friend made the remark, "You know the nice thing about the Swine flu thing, is we don't have to hear how bad the economy is every night". When you think about that it is so true, kind of sad but true. Sad that something like Swine flu would be the catalyst for improvement but true in the fact that every night, one at 10:pm, the other at 11: pm, the bad news bears,
Peter and Lloyd close out our day with how bad it all has been.
The economy worsens, GMC and Chrysler teeter on the verge of bankruptcy, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan continues with little hope of a win, little hope of ending and casualties on both sides.
Now I realize the television stations have to report the news, the newspapers have to sell copies and all of that but really how can the economy get better, how can investor confidence be restored, when all you hear is this negative stuff continually.
Bad news sells, no question, but shhh Lloyd, quiet Peter, can you tone it down just a bit?
