I care more about our foreign policy than our economic policies affecting the world. And I think most of out trade agreements are in favor of the foreign countries.
The economy here was like someone put gasoline/petrol on a fire, but didn't add any wood. It burned really big, but there was no substance to it's growth. The thing is, our economy was never as good as it was hyped to be, but it isn't as bad as it's made out to be now either. Maybe people are finally getting to a point where they have enough stuff. I know I have run out of things to buy. Next year, I won't be making any really big purchases, so that might be what is causing a lot of the slow down too.
