What I find interesting is for all the bitching about the economy, I still see lots of SUV's and other low mileage vehicles flying around like nothing's changed, and restaurant
parking lots filled, and another holiday season where people spent much more than they said they would. My point is that it seems like people are still spending money like crazy and that's here in one of the most economically depressed areas of the nation (Detroit area). I see people complaining and yet their hair is styled and fingernails are sculptured. I see houses that have needed a coat of paint for years and there are two and sometimes three satellite dishes attached and a big screen TV seen in the front window. I see their kids with $75 Hollister jeans and cell phones with all the accessories and text-messaging and other options that run up the bill.
This is a bad economy?
