Comments from Curtin after the Michigan survey
- Consumers are dismissing stock market slump
- Are still very focused on international events
- Are becoming more willing to use credit (uh oh)
- Says overall this was a very positive report
- Consumers view on TPP deal is negative
- They're worried deal would hurt hiring
- Jan high in sentiment may be the peak of the cycle
They must have hit some bright buttons on their phone calls as I doubt most average Americans know what the TPP is, let alone give a toss about it
