I was far more depressed back in 2006-2007 reading the buisness section of the paper than I am now reading Mish or piggington or whatever ‘bear’ blog you prefer. Back then I kept thinking, “I dont get it, could everything all my economic’s teachers in college taught me be totally wrong???” and “How the hell am I the only one who isnt making a million dollars a year? Everyone seems to have so frakin much money. How do they do it??”

Now I read the news and while not happy news, it atleast confirms that I didnt waste those years in college and that the professors were not lying to me. Plus it serves as a nice bullwark against those ‘happy’ articles in the buisness section.
