Economy Afraid Of Commitment

Wall Street, NY - The U.S. economy is afraid of commitment, according to statements its psychologist made yesterday.

"It's afraid of maintaining a relationship with a trend over the long term," said econocologist Mark Dirmond. "When investors lost confidence, it lost confidence in itself. Economies with low self-esteem have a hard time accepting that a trend will stick with them, if they stick with a trend."

"It's not that I don't like the growth trends," said the economy. "It's just that I've been hurt before by them. 1929, everyone was happy, I was happy, we all bought as much stock as we could. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, Black Monday. I've been having recurring nightmares about that ever since."

The Federal Reserve has issued a statement asking consumers to keep spending, and whenever possible to reassure the economy that it's all right, and that it's doing the right thing, and that it's really handsome in its own unique way.
