State of the Economy / TARP program / Consumer Spending

1) Is Michelle Caruso-Cabrera now single and Michelle Caruso? I haven't seen a ring there in awhile :) LOL I just thought I would point that out to everyone.

2) Her synopsis for Brian Williams (she is a CNBC correspondent) is SPOT on. We are now over $1 TRILLION in government committments now. Staggering!



3) Nearly 20,000 job reductions were announced today from major corporations. This is getting ugly. I am shaking my head in disbelief. The unfortunate thing is that most people are just now getting scared. I've been that way for 4-6 weeks now!

Lipstick Economy

http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/92031/?

Cosmetic sales were up 25% during the great depression. One of the few categories to experience sales growth during that time frame.

Sales of lipstick were up 100% after September 11, 2001. Apparently lipstick sales are up 40%
in recent months.
