My further comment - People who were scared away from hiring and from spending on consumer goods earlier are feeling more confident... however since there will not be a long term stabilization of the nation in terms of real jobs, we will continue our economic slide, except that those in the Upper elite may miss being so much as dinged.

And this glob of oil killing at least one major sea and perhaps part of thw Atlantic will further cripple any ability we might have to recover.
