I'm Not an Economist, Part of the WHO, or a Journalist

Economic stimulus, recession, bailouts, swine flu. Its like a broken record.

They wonder why TV news viewership and newspaper circulations are down. Its because we can't catch a break.

Its like you're always waiting for the other shoe to drop. First, we've got people in financial ruin, losing jobs and their money. And now, people are afraid for their health.

History has shown that these things are cyclical, but I can't help wonder if its a self-fulfilling prophecy (the economic side). Bad news promotes poor reactions, which promotes bad behaviors,which leads to more bad news.......
