Economy

So how is the economy in your area? I think it is interesting that it seems to be interesting that things were going ok until the media made a HUGE deal about it. I am reading a book currently that states the more you think about something the more it comes true. I am trying to keep a positive and only talking about how the market may be slow but it certainly isn't the end of the world as some would want you to believe. How is it in your world? Do you think it is as bad as they say? And even if it is, what are we fixing by discussing how bad it is day after day?
