Where I grew up, in Des Moines, Iowa, there is hardly any downtown economic activity now. Everybody shops in malls - you don't find a sense of community in malls.

The Bahamas is headed for unprecedented economic activity.

The more that energy costs, the less economic activity there can be.

And once you get instantaneous communication with everybody, you have economic activity that's far more advanced, far more liquid, far more distributed than ever before.

Well, I think what we need to remember is that budget deficits can impede economic activity.

I don't think it would be devastating for economic activity. I think it might, on the margin, inhibit it some.
