Comments for Fiscal Cliff Notes: Afterword at http://www.cepr.net , comment 1 to 2 out of 2 comments http://www.cepr.net Tue, 21 May 2013 22:10:56 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/fiscal-cliff-notes-afterword#comment-21586 But consumer confidence has been going down: http://www.conference-board.org/data/consumerconfidence.cfm (via Robert Reich at Salon) apparently including all indicators. What's up (or down) with that? It's hard to believe that this is due to concern about cliffs, since nattering about the deficit has been going on for a long time, and the action at the end of the year should have been reassuring if it had any effect. - skeptonomist Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:50:54 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/fiscal-cliff-notes-afterword#comment-21581 FOXNews just said the 155,000 increase should have been HIGHER if there was no "fall-of-the-cliff" talk. - James Tue, 29 Jan 2013 09:02:24 +0100
