diane swonk, she joins us. diane, americans are just not motivated to spend right now. no increase in august retail sales, july retail sales were revised lower. how important is confidence here at this stage of the economy? >> there's no question on the margin confidence matters a lot. unfortunately we have a very marginal economy. it is important. remember, we saw retail sales flat line along with employment. we also saw wages decline in the month of august. consumers have a real reason not to be confident right now and to be more pulling back and be more cautious in their spending. so although confidence is very important, and i think certainty going forward for businesses, especially in hiring, trillion dollars in stimulus on the sidelines they are hoarding on their balance sheets, they need the confidence to have some kind of path going forward, even if it's hard. they just want some clarity. they can negotiate potholes in the road ahead as long as they are there. >> diane, is it the president's job to unlock that confidence? can he do that? does he have the key? >>

>> reporter: good evening, diane. abc news has, in fact, learned new details of the source of this troubling information. my colleagueueartha raddatz reports the source, overseas, is well-known and trusted by u.s. officials but that in this case, his information about the vehicle bomb plot may be, at best, second-hand. even so, officials say at this point they have no choice but to act as if the threat is real and that the clock is ticking. it was only 48 hours ago, on wednesday in pakistan, that officials say the cia developed the information. three men, including at least one american citizen, had traveled to the u.s. in mid-august, from pakistan, through dubai, assigned to attack new york or washington with a vehicle bomb on september 10th, 11th or 12th. officials call the source credible. the information, very specific but still unconfirmed. >> it's uncorroborated. that means there's only the one source. none of our other sources are saying the same thing. and so far, we haven't been able to actually find any evid
