You know, from all the talks of "Economy" on this board I started to think that maybe economy had absolutely nothing to do with the consumer. I'm so confused about economy at this point, why is so much of it based on what the consumer does and what the consumer has? I had started to think that wasn't important at all :O

Also why is it that whoever makes economical decisions in our government always makes drastic decisions? Does it occur to them that when their drastic decision making is over with, there's going to be some drastic effects? DRASTIC EFFECTS FROM DRASTIC CAUSES? NO! It almost makes you think the people who make these decisions purposely make the stupidest decision possible.

Does this mean that house prices are finally going to drop?
