• Rich Pulling Out Wallets Again -- Bad News Is Middle, Lower Classes Still Not Spending

American shoppers are splitting again: The affluent are finally starting to buy, picking up designer clothes at places like Nordstrom, while those on the lower economic rungs are still scrimping by, heading to Wal-Mart for the basics.

Russia and its former satellites, except the Baltic states and Georgia, are keeping their work force under the thumb by depriving freedom of speech, arrests and corruption. The mechanism used in the U.S. is devilishly clever. The housing bubble was created to fail (derivatives helped it along) and the government had no choice but to bail out the banks. Wall Streetrecovered its losses, but it was paid for with $7.8 trillion in lost jobs and wages of the middle- and lower-income workers. The reason the recovery is very slow is because the lower classes do not have the money to spend.
