The official answer is: American Workers. Several million individual little hard-working
fundamentals. Going off to work with their tin lunchboxes, riveting all day high above the city, then coming home to a house that whups got foreclosed out from under them.
Yes sir, if you don't believe our economy is strong, you must not believe in the American worker.
That was the message last week anyway. This week is, the economy is in such a crisis we have to drop everything and gallop off to Washington to stand around wringing our hands while others fix it. Darn workers. Screw everything up.

I'm glad to hear that as goes Ventura County's Costco gas line, so goes the nation.
Guess what? Here in my home town, gas prices have been going down, and it's less and less an issue, since the troubles a week or so ago. An hour and a half south of me, in Charlotte, half the stations are without gas and lines are going around the block.
Please go look up the word "anecdotal".
