Then after all the doom and gloom they sneak this in as the last paragraph..

Still, for now, most economic signs appear solid. Employers are adding jobs at a steady pace, the unemployment rate remains near a 50-year low and consumers are optimistic. U.S. retail sales figures out last Thursday showed that they jumped in July by the most in four months.
Opinion itself can sway the stock market. There are too many people in this country right now that would rather see a damaged economic situation than a good economic situation because of their attitude and mind set.

What a mess. What a disappointment.
