Intl' commerce dept: "Hard times ahead!"

Sheeesh! Do I really need this bad news after what happened yesterday? Now the balance with Asia and 'South of the border' will be at its lowest level since the terrible summer of '98. And as if it wasn't enough Europe won't be of any help either. Remember Jessica Bugner last january's "0.5%, if we're lucky!" Well, ha!, it looks like we're out of luck these days... huh... months, I should say. What we need is at least 2.5% just to keep our collective heads out of those filthy 'deals breaker' (!!!) waters. Housing is a real downer in half the country and barely surviving in the other half with a 0.1% raise in the 'cuts and rates' zombie market. Yeah, this will save us, yeah, sure... sheeesh! I don't know if it's this bottle of whisky I drank last night that makes me feel so desperate, but, man, do those sh**ty days will end soon? Yesterday, bad news. Today, again bad news. And tomorrow? More bad news?!!! What's going on here?!!! Sheeesh...
