U.S. Consumer Confidence Drops to Three-Decade Low Amid Economic Headwinds

Confidence among U.S. consumers plunged in August to the lowest level since May 1980, adding to concern that weak employment gains and volatility in the stock market will prompt households to retrench.

The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment slumped to 54.9 from 63.7 the prior month. The gauge was projected to decline to 62, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey.

The biggest one-week slump in stocks since 2008 and the threat of default on the nation's debt may have exacerbated consumers’ concerns as unemployment hovers above 9 percent and companies are hesitant to hire. Rising pessimism poses a risk household spending will cool further, hindering a recovery that Federal Reserve policy makers said this week was already advancing “considerably slower” than projected.

“We’re really at the bottom of the barrel right now,” Lindsey Piegza, an economist at FTN Financial in New York, said before the report. “Americans are feeling an increasing level of frustration with their leaders in Washington. We’re also seeing a slew of weaker than expected economic reports.”

Maybe Obama doesnt have his boot on the throat of enough American businesses yet?

No, the 'problem' is that Obama does not deep-throat corporate cock nearly as well as you do.

I'm sure that some lessons from you could possibly help matters to some minor extent there, but there is no substitute for natural talent in that regard, which the president lacks while you have in abundance.

Whats with your fascination with gay sex Ed

Are you fantasizing

Or are you trying to gay bash

And why is it leftists can rarely if ever post on topic

Do they lack the intellectual ability generally?

Buncha drooling trolls is the best the far left has to offer, most days...

Sorry bout being behind the times there Sanity. I just calls em like I sees em.

I dont see the tea party as particularly guilty of anything except wearing goofy stuff and foisting Bachman off on the country.

You mean aside from the fact that I am not a leftist and that you lack third grade education as regards basic punctuation, much less any capability for anything resembling a coherent topic to begin with?

That?

I spoke directly to the topic, childishly as it was presented.

It is Bushes fault. Because we spent trillions on war in Iraq, and Ahganistan. He put this on the credit card and now retirees will be forced to have no heat and eat pet food- due to no COLAS in SS. Which Bush also looted.... all while giving his buddies no bid contracts... and made no attempt to end the federal reserve. The GOP is a huge part of the problem- they are corporate whores, and sell outs to the ruling oligarchs who want to privatize all the roads and make them toll ways.

Actually, Bush didn't spend trillions on Iraq and Afghanistan. Both wars didn't reach 800 billion by the time he left office. He spent zero on attacking Libya.

So Bush spent 800 billion in about 6 years fighting two wars and Obama spent 1.6 trillion in one year on deficit spending alone.

Kinda tough to "blame bush" for the stupid choices of our current "community organizer in chief".

I agree- Bush wrecked the economy. We seen that further when he pushed TARP.... consider who the staff is since Reagan- all goldman sachs people.

Teddy Roosevelt and Winston Churchill 'fooled the shit outa' you also. Congratulations.

I suppose I most certainly AM a "leftist" as held in regard by those who create description of the world to their own convenience and are in lack of basic comprehension skills and display overt disdain of anything factual in nature, and consistently display profound ignorance as to the difference between socialism, communism, a market economy, etc., and in every regard view the world through a monochromatic lens.

Yup, I be a 'leftie' in that alternate universe of yours and sanity's.

You're forgetting the trillions in obligations we incurred as a result of those wars.

In other words, you don't know what it means yourself, but by god you aren't going to let anyone catch you with your pants down. Better to just baffle 'em with a bunch of insulting generalisms all wrapped up in negative phraseology.

Ok...Edwynn so go ahead and define what being a "lefty" is. Because most of us see it as being ruled by a nanny state that oppressively taxes its citizens in an progressive manner and re-distributing the money created by the successful to those that are unwilling to participate and become successful on their own. Naturally, what I have said does not include those below the age of majority, senior citizens or the disabled.

So...go ahead and explain what being a "lefty" is. Because I see lefty's as greedy, lazy, entitled, pieces of shit that have to live off of the efforts of other people to survive. :)
For example, I have found that many of the people on this board that argue the hardest for increased social spending are.............wait for it!!................those that receive social programs. Wow...what a surprise, right??????

Also...be honest, tell us what social programs you avail yourself of.

OH>>>>>P.S.!!!! Today is August 12, 2011. In America, this is the day that you begin earning money for yourself for the year. Up until this point, you have been working to support the public sector at the Federal, State and Local level. What you make from August 23 until December 31, 2011.
