That article from the news media is exactly why we are in this mess. They want people glued to the TV to watch what company will fall today.
Its fear mongering. The answer is simple. Do YOUR part to get the economy back on track.
Every little bit helps. For instance. How about planting a vegtable garden? They money you save from not having to buy tomatoes for instance is THAT much more that can flow into manufacturing.
The stimulus? It wont do much but the perception that the gov is not going to pull another Hoover REALLY helps things in the minds of the people.
What it MAY do tho is starve off the inevitable "mini recession" that we always have after a main recession. The long term goals like more broadband creates markets and installs more confidence.
