Only Signs of Positive, Not Negative

I have been to El Paso, Dallas, Memphis, Little Rock, Hot Springs, El Dorado, Camden and Hampton recently and I have seen very little signs of troubling economy. In fact, in the Dallas Mall I had to remind myself it wasn't Christmas because it was so crowded. The Little Rock shops were also booming. The shop I went into at Memphis was so busy I just decided to try another day. Maybe people are buying before the prices go up because of the tariffs, or perhaps there is a positive vibe about the future. Either way there doesn't seem to be a slow down in purchasing. I have hopes that manufacturing will see a resurgence in the United States, depending less on other countries for basic everyday items. Global economy is here to stay, we should benefit instead of deficit.
