I stopped by Target, Wal-Mart, and JC Penney this afternoon to do some last minute shopping. The parking lots were full to the gills, filled to the rafters, standing room only inside. Many shelves were bare. So, I asked myself - where is this recession that economists keep talking about??? Maybe everywhere else except here? Washington should put a commission together to look into this mystery. I did notice the price of gas is at $1.60 now. That much is true, but everything else is still expensive. Where is the deflation I keep hearing about? The woman at left must be smiling because her unemployment check is huge? Or she has a very rich husband? I have no clue.
