As you stated, 2/3 of the economy is the consumer. Well, the consumer is tapped out, alot of 'em in debt up to their eyeballs, losing jobs, stagnant pay, inflation (the real numbers, not the politician bs) and the ATM machine known as their house has been unplugged.
I'd like to know what could possibly save us at this point as well. Adding more tax burden on the masses with huge bailouts? IMHO the easy credit craze can't continue forever. It will only delay the inevitable.
