What are you worried about with this economy in the next six-ish months?

And I want you to take the Congress of the United States into consideration as you answer this.

Okay.

What are you worried about?

Sudeep, I need to nail you down on this Congress of the United States thing, because I'm just thinking about the health care subsidies and all of that and the idea that consumers now, millions of them, will have less money in their pockets.

It has to be a challenge.

So deep ready at MS now in Washington and, uh, Kate Davidson and Bloomberg.

Thank you too.

I appreciate it.

Thanks guy.

Thanks guy.

Wall Street on this Friday, not a winner.

Marketplace's Mitchell Hartman is going to tell you why that matters in a minute.

Here's a hint.

Kate alluded to it.

And then later, as always, we will have the details when we do the numbers.

We'll get retail sales data for October next week.

And again, this is an oldie but a goodie.

Since spending buyer on behalf of consumers drives 70% of this economy, it is going to be good to finally know what's what.

The caveat is that October doesn't quite get us to the all-important holiday shopping season.
