We need to focus on the positive about our economy. Because the fear factor is as big an enemy to recovery as any disagreement about the path.
Not Polyanna, just a counteract to the gloom and doom that’s eating up our future.
Whatcha think?
UPDATE: Quick Google search found this: http://www.goodnewseconomist.com/ – exactly what I’m talking about. Hope to feed him more content of a positive vein – you do the same, please.
Leave it to Barney 
I can’t agree with you more, Barney. And I appriciate this concept coming from media as I feel that the old ‘bad news sells’ thing tends to make us all close our businesses in to much instead of looking outwards to make the business better and more sales worthy.
Don’t go into debt but take what you have and do the very best that you can, keeping your head up and looking forward to a brighter future. The sky is not falling yet but it certainly can come crashing down if we listen to the negative and believe it.
Now is the time for positive thinking and creative ideas.
Bad news is real. The sad thing is that employers come to this area, Bend, with promises of a future for the whole area and give up on us all pulling out putting a lot of central Oregonians out of work at a time when there are no ” Living Wage ” jobs for anyone to not have to do the same and leave this beautiful town we all love.
I am talking about Cessna and a lot of our Jobs have gone to Mexico which is the real crime of this whole thing because we cannot live for the wages they draw. Now, though, they will be making more than I as myself and another batch of central Oregonian, Americans, will soon be out of work, for good and for real. They are moving the whole operation back to Kansas.
I hope Dorthy and Toto will have better luck paying their bills than myself and other Oregonians will.
Thanks…
Never said bad news wasn’t real, or tragic. Not limited to C.O. of course. Hang in there;-/
