Tom Toles Explains the Current Economic Situation

This Tom Toles cartoon ran last Monday or Tuesday in the Star Tribune, probably over the last weekend in the Washington Post.

Economist to consumer - Get those hands out of your pockets and start spending

2nd economist - Are you kidding? Put that credit card away! That's how we got into this mess

1st economist - Just don't put it away now! You want to start a Depression?

Economist 2 - If there is a Depression, you're going to need some savings

Economist 2 - So save save save. Economist 1 - Spend spend spend.

Consumer spins like a top. Economists say I think we achieved a turnaround
