Some hard data on December economic activity. Although the drops are scary in our one-paycheck-away-from-financial-ruin economic climate, I'm happy that there seems to be a new attitude of financial convervatism washing over the citizenry.

With any luck, 08' and 09' will be the darkest hours of our economic nightmare.
