It seems to me we just have to pay attention a little more and maybe spending on things we really want. However, sitting inside and not spending a dime doesn't seem to help anyone. My money keeps my local fave tiki bar going, a yummy restaurant, airlines, hotels, etc. afloat in these poor times. As long as I have a job, I still intend to spend because frankly that's how our economy is based. This is why our government is trying to infuse vast amounts of money into our day to day economy so that spending will continue and free up money. So it seems to a lay person. Hopefully the businesses I frequent won't have to lay any people off.
