Plenty of articles that state how people are spending less and people are the backbone to the economy... and yet not wondering why... Anyhow, I'm not talking about some FOX news fluffpiece about insta-millionaires buying houses and cars "off the shelves" created by Facebook's IPO (at least before its value predictably dropped, and why do I want to snicker right now? Probably because of FOX having a history of bending things...)

(it's the most embarrassing article of the new century so far, but it's harder to find than other things I alluded to in other responses... so happy reading and giggling, it really is amusing... but don't worry, FOX will never tell you how much taxpayer-funded subsidy facebook gets either...)
