Economic Shell Shock!!!

It never ceases to amaze me that the Monday morning business news seems to report as though the previous weeks were a surprise and that factors will somehow magically be repaired over a weekend and everyone will live in harmony forever... Not likely!!! America is suffering from an economic shell shock from the crisis of the day reporting and uncertainty on which way to turn. How can any person expect great news when our banks could close at any time, 401Ks are questionable, our food quality is questionable, our jobs are questionable, our security is questionable and our leadership is non-existent??? So the third quarter banking report isn't very rosy??? Well neither is any other economic news so instead of creating the doom and gloom headline of the day why not just simply say "DITTO!!!"
