lonnie in north carolina, go ahead. caller: hi. thank you for taking my call. i have to agree with the last caller about energy. it looks like we have lost our industrial base, our manufacturing base. it is gone and it has been gone for a few years. now that we have a recession, we're trying to get out of it. there are blue collar jobs that filtered into the middle class. spending is not going to rebound mysteriously by stimulus spending from washington or by cutting taxes, which has gotten us out of the past. it doesn't look like either economic option will get us out of this unless we can revitalize our manufacturing. one way to do that would be to drill for oil, go get the natural gas. we are never going to get those jobs from overseas because of labor costs. i think attacking the high cost of labor here would maybe help that. the big level. i do not see a turnaround right now. host: that is how you view the economy. how does that translate into how you spend your money? caller: are spending has not changed very much. my wife and i are small-business owners.
