Update: With the meltdown in the Japanese Nikkei (almost 10% in a month) the 326 point drop today in the Dow took out the 200 day moving average like it was Honey Boo Boo's butter knife left on a porch in July.
What else is there to say? Real disposable income drops by more than the collapse in 2008-09, Pending New Home Sales has collapsed by the most since 2010's "recovery," and the most common descriptor on the state of the nation in a new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll is "Divided."
The bonus of the week came from Matt Drudge of the DrudgeReport.com, who cryptically tweeted this week, "Have an exit plan." But hey, here in Wisconsin we have a billion dollar surplus and nothing but green shoots everywhere because government, and not central bank intervention, fixed our problems.
Hope we all enjoy tomorrows Pot Bowl. I predict more people on the losing team care less than ever before. Oh, and they will be hungry.
