Another example that the media and speculators are killing this economy with their grim outlook.

If they would actually talk about something positive in the news heck idk we might come out of this 'recession'

Notice how short and sweet the article is. This should be big news! Put some confidence back into the public.

U.S. retail sales jumped 1 percent in January, reversing a six-month declining trend and defying economists' expectations by posting the biggest increase in 14 months.

The Commerce Department says January retail sales rose a percent from December after having fallen for six straight months. Wall Street economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected January sales to show a drop of 0.8 percent. They plunged 2.7 percent in December, which had the weakest holiday selling season since at least 1969.

The January report shows strong increases in sales of automobiles and in general merchandise stores -- the "big box" outlets -- though sales by department stores, carrying fewer varieties of items, posted a decline.

I dont even watch the business side of the news anymore. There is way to many predictions of doom and gloom. I'm sick and tired of it.

Add Obama to that title, all of them, including government officials are talking like that. I wish they would shut the hell up, a bunch of companies are laying people off because of the fear put out there by these people.
