CONSUMER CONFIDENCE At A Near Four Year High

More spending = more jobs.

Don't get left behind.

if thats the case then its okay for gas prices to go even higher since we're so confident.

not possible when so much money goes to gas + food

I've always loved the idea of Consumer Confidence. What does this really mean if all the Consumers are retarded sheep?

This is great news for our country!!

HAHAHAHAHA! Goes to show what a fucking idiot the average consumer is!

WTF families have they been talking to? Are they only running around on Capital Hill and doing this survey to the OVERPAID Govt employees there? TSA has 3900 people making well over $100k/yr in DC. The elected officials have how many employees working for them at over $100k/yr?

Now... If they wanna come to real America and ask, I'll give 'em straight up facts! I work 2 jobs, pay child support, house payment, credit card payments (that are almost maxed now), 2 vehicle payments and have NOTHING left because I spend about $800+/month in gas while my wife spends $300/month

(And before anyone says "why don't you move", Will let you know my wife works in opposite direction of home than I do). My consumer confidence SUCKS

<------high confident consumer

Those looking at fundamentals such as household income/debt and sales see more of a Mind Trick being played on the weak-minded. If you can convince me the economy is expanding and inflation is rising, I will be more likely to risk borrowing and spending more than I can afford.
