Well strictly speaking there’s no such thing in economic talk But take a good look at poor old X it runs every which way — up and down backward and forward — and then try to think of a better way to describe Mr Carter’s struggles with prices and unemployment The current reading of the alphabet soup is cautiously optimistic economists are beginning to hope that the recession of 1980 is going to turn out to be a V And the numbers point that way The index of leading indicators jumped a whopping 25 percent in But hold on warn the cautious types That V just might turn into a W as it did in the 1973-7- 5 slump when the index recorded a jump and then slid back for another year Things just aren’t looking that good right now they add no matter what Mr Carter says in his campaign speeches Prices are “bracket creep” still too high has pushed workers into higher income taxes with no real increase in and next January’s income Social in Security taxes will jump bite take another Furthermore a private survey of jobs isn’t as glowing as the government figures it indicates a drop of 240000 workers in July And the budget deficit that’s staring Mr Carter in the face is hardly what’s going to whip inflation Also while car sales may be up a little Detroit is having one of its worst years since old Henry put the nation on wheels Lumped tolose gether the auto makers will close to $4 billion this year — and hard times on the assembly line mean hard times fbr the rest of the country So we’re probably in a lopsided U: a possible bottoming-ou- t by fall a followed by sluggish recovery That’s if we’re lucky If we’re not everything will go to L in a hurry 28-per-ce- $19-billi- on Ogden Many of us who have friends in the Wide Horizon Care Center are disturbed about the plan to move them from there to other nursing homes We have learned of no good reason for this so we assume that the real reaspn for the move is that the owners would receive more money if the care center becomes a home for the retarded We are not making light of the needs of the retarded ones but do not feel that moving the elderly is the best answer It seems that many people who are under 60 believe that they will never be old Or if such an unlikely thing should happen they will certainly not have to end their life in a nursing home There are many in them who have led beautiful dignified lives and who have plenty of money but still they have had to go More Letters Page 5A "Everywhere ya go — TOURISTS — ya know what I mean?" nt |
