The economy has been stymied for a couple of years because consumer confidence was in the shitter ... now its hitting a point where people simply can't put off purchases any longer. People are buying cars, appliances, electronics, video games, and sorts of assorted bullshit that they haven't spent money on in a couple of years. Our economy is driven by consumption, and our appetites have become insatiable ... the economy IS recovering.
Like every recovery, some sectors are lagging behind others but shit is getting better. The economy will never be "fixed" ... its like fucking Frankenstein, we'll be robbing graves for parts until the end of time just to keep it shambling forward, and it may fall down once in a while, but its going to get up and rape your women.
