		<description>I might be one of the few who thinks consumer confidence is not as bad as it sounds.
Our shitty economy has forced consumers to ask themselves what a purchase can really offer them in the long run. I think thatâ€™s healthy. 

A cup of coffee is no longer worth a $1.50 a day, but a few ounces of Folgers is worth $15.00 a month. 
Iâ€™m all for finding a better way of living and making responsible purchases.  

Maybe this recession will untimely build a smarter consumer and weâ€™ll need to look within ourselves and the feature generation to build an economy that we feed instead of one that the depends on us.</description>
