You have this dichotomy where were seeing some strength in the markets. I think were a little off today but youre seeing some read through or look through in the market to say, hey, were going to see optimism on the other side however the economy hasnt quite caught up yet to the markets i think we are going to need and we need to focus on making sure that the legislature realized we still need stimulus, we need the consumer thats twothirds of this economy back in full swing.

Good monday morning. Im Carl Quintanilla with jon fortt.
