Talk:Consumer confidence

More than ever one can somewhat understand the driving force behind the "Tea Party" phenomenon. It is being used as a tool to keep people overly pessimistic about Government and the State of the country. Well when you parallel that with the "Party of No's" operation of voting no on everything it becomes quite clear as to whats going on. These folk want to orchestrate and maintain the worst "Consumer Confidence" levels that they can in an vast effort to circumvent a successful economic rebound as headed by the Obama administration. Stoking the fires of suspicion, and distrust by slander outright lies and misrepresentations are what some hope will be their ticket back into the White House and controlling the Congress. This is non-leadership, anarchy, and treason at it's worst but now the covers are beginning to be pulled off. I predict that the November elections will surprise them and they will not make the gains in the Congress that they have predicted. And to think, a lot of this is being led by a half-governor, who seeks to make a career out of talking against the President of the United States (to much of the delight to the Iranian President and every terrorist who's ever slitherd from behind a rock), and her half-baked cohort from Minnesota.

Dr. Dees's comment on this article
Dr. Dees has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"What about the indices for other European countries. Those are also aggregated and published by the European Commission (http://ec.europa.eu/economy_finance/db_indicators/surveys/index_en.htm). The part on usage is very poor and lacks references. References to a huge literature on how these indices are used in economics are missing."

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

We believe Dr. Dees has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:
