So I am listening to NPR telling me about people in the country feeling jittery about the economy
Edited on Fri Sep-17-10 03:23 PM by county worker
A new study out says that they are afraid of losing jobs and houses etc. because of the lack of spending in the coming year. Who are these people? They are not those that make $75,000 or less. Oh no, the study finds those people are feeing better about the economy. It's people who make more than $75,000 a year. It's the people who in the past were pretty well off. What is making them jittery? Why it's the fear of the Bush tax cuts coming to an end!

I'm thinking what right wing organization paid NPR to report that?

I've seen studies show the tax cuts for the well off went into savings and investments not spending. So an end to the tax cuts will have no effect on spending that doesn't exist anyway!
