The Bluebird of Happiness

The drum beat continues on the economy: Happy Days are Here Again!!! Yeah, whatever. Did you know that retail sales tanked last month just when normally moms would be going out and spending to get kids ready to go back to school? Worst in 6 months in fact. Wonder why? Hmm...

Well, taxes are up, health insurance premiums are climbing steeply, wages haven't grown - in fact the average family has lost 23% of their buying power since 2008. Perhaps this has something to do with it. 

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. One wonders when Washington will get the word.
