is bad job market and US consumer reluctance to spend the cause for bad economy?
Question by firoz gandmar has AIDS: is bad job market and US consumer reluctance to spend the cause for bad economy?
Consumer spending has come to a grinding halt. Nobody except for fools are spending money on shopping, retail or new cars. Many retailers, car dealers, restaurant chains etc etc are going bankrupt on daily basis and thousands lose their jobs daily. October alone saw a loss of 240000 jobs.
But how can the consumer spend, when there is no job security anywhere? A lot of recent college graduates continue staying unemployed despite high GPA of 3.5 or beyond. A friend of mine who has bachelor in math with 3.5 gpa is unemployed and a second friend with bachelor in finance with 3.7 gpa is unemployed too. And they both are thinking of filing bankruptcy. This is how bad things are.
And the bailout does not improve job market and neither does it address the problem of how to make the consumer spend more. So then how will economy be fixed?
Giving $ 700 billion to failed companies does not do anything because they will fail again, since consumer spending is very low now. Fannie Mae, AIG again reported billions and billions in losses despite being bailed out. If General Motor is bailed out again after few months it would need second bailout.
Why don’t they get it that bailout is not the answer to the economic crisis?

Answer by Well Duh!
Values in neighborhoods go down when homes set vacant, and communities go down hill. If neighborhoods are empty, stores are empty, maintenance work is not getting done, no utilities are used or paid for, just look at all the businesses support neighborhood, such as carpenters, plumbers, painters, fence people, pest control, lawn services, pool services, gas stations, local stores, shops. Crime can go up, which is an increase on the local services that costs tax dollars. It’s all effected until people move back into the neighborhood.
