If there is no confidence in the economy, those with money are going to keep it. The only ones spending will be the ones at the bottom of the scale who are too ignorant (no disrespect intended) to save. The economy need the general public, the middle and the wealthy to spend to survive and improve - period. No one disagrees on this. How to get this group to spend is the question. Talking the economy down and threatening certainly won't help.
