We all know the problem with our economy is LACK OF CONSUMER CONFIDENCE...
And the blame for that condition varies from the sub prime debacle, rising prices, especially for fuel, devaluation of the dollar, foreclosure pressure, falling real estate values, loss of jobs, the media, etc...
I never like playing the 'BLAME GAME'...too counterproductive...
And whatever the cause, we can all agree that our economy in general has ground to almost a halt...
So what's the simple but profound answer to get the economy going again...?
SALES! COUPONS! REBATES! GREAT DEALS! SLASHED PRICES!
It's that simple, folks! Right now, it's not about high profits, it's getting the ball rolling again...you've got to give a little to get a little...so slash those prices, reduce those profits, offer some incentives for people to buy...
Give the consumer a great reason to spend...initially by the secure consumer, then permeating throughout the rest of the consumer world...
RESULT...increased spending, more buyers in the market, more demand for goods, more jobs, more confidence in the economy...and lower prices...
BAILOUT??? HECK NO!
SALES & PROMOTIONS??? YES!

Cheaper prices, lower profit ratios, may even take lower wages!? It will be time to prime the pump, but let's no drown while standing by it!
