Agreed, consumer confidence is high. People are spending, but ask almost any contractor; skilled laborers are sparse. So many mixed signals. Interest rates will come down, but at a slower pace than many believe. Its also an election year, so everything is out the window.
Blade you posted something that made sense for once & I had to agree with you. Don't get a big head it may never happen again.That is an elitist created education problem that begins in grade school. Kids are told to go to college or be a failure. High schools don't teach kids to function in society. They teach them how to succeed in college. They are taught to look down on people who work with their hands.
