Life is tough enough without having to hear the daily news about our disaster of an economy.  

When you’re depressed, the world looks like it’s going to hell in a hand basket.  Compare that to the glow of a young couple in love.  They’re always grinning, the world is beautiful.  Clouds are bright white and storms are exciting.  They’re positivity is attractive, and some times even annoying.

There are clearly problems that no one really knows how to address, and I believe the team and plan our President has put in place is as probably as good as anything else people might come up with.  But it seems to me that we need a different kind of stimulus package that the 800 billion that’s being pumped into the market.

So much of our economy is based on our impressions.  We are totally reliant on the emotions of men and women on Wall Street and whether they feel like buying or selling.  They feel good, stock goes up, they feel scared, it crashes.  I wonder what would happen to our recessed economy if it took the same advice we give to the depressed.  

What if all of our stock brokers turned off CNBC, and started every morning with some inspirational reading a brisk jog.  What if they surrounded themselves with positivity, and went into the market every morning feeling bullish?

I realize that I’m no economist, and I’m greatly simplifying things.  But I can’t help but believe that some positive thinking is worth at least a couple billion.
