I guess there will be trouble when you run out of other people's money to spend.

Why don't you look up the facts about how long this trend has been going on?

Utah unemployment rate is tied for 10th best so it's in the top 20%.

"The decrease in DPI reflected an increase in federal nonwithheld income taxes."

In other words - it's the taxes from LAST YEAR that was owed but payment was put off until the new year.

the numbers should actually be better than they are -given the fact that government wage and salary disbursements increased $6.1 billion, compared with an increase of $2.7 billion. (the month previous) Pay raises for federal civilian and military personnel added $7.1 billion to government payrolls in January.

the government is trying like crazy to pump money into the system. how long do you think that is sustainable????

we are still in a recession, with rising unemployment, and the government is handing out pay raises.
