Yes We Can!
Blecch.
In the back of the business section I've seen hints of recovery for a while now, references to 'increased demand' and improving productivity' generally in industry specific articles.
But the possible disaster in Europe (unlikely IMO, but severely unsettling, and an almost certain reccession there) and the rumored reccession in China, coupled with the uncertainty generated by a hope and change, um, occassional wannabe class warrior in Washington, is going to make it hard to get moving.
The backlog of foreclosures ain't helping either. And our looming debt crisis a'la Europe.
But it won't stay like this forever.
