We're going to talk ourselves into a depression
Consumer sentiment is the worst since June 1980?!  You have to be kidding me!  The consumer one year inflation estimate is 5.2%.  Consumers are wrong -- that number is way higher than it's actually going to turn out to be, but let's take it at face value.  In 1980 inflation was 10.3%.  And unemployment went up from 5% to 5.2%.  Well unemployment was above 5% for most of the Clinton years.  And in 1980 it was 7.1%.  People just need to take a chill pill before they turn a bad economic situation even worse.
