So it's not only the Big Dig that has tunnel problems.

"Two-thirds of the population is saying that before they buy something, they stop and ask themselves 'Is this a smart use of my money?' That's up from 48 percent in 2004," WLS principal Candace Corlett said, referring to the company's 2006 survey.

"Frankly, we see absolutely no light at the end of this tunnel," says some guy named Barnard. Maybe they should get Mitt to help them out. Over at the Luxury Institute they're complaining, "instead of buying the $25,000 watch, they're buying the $10,000 watch." No mention of who "they" are, but presumably they're in that last, beleaguered third.

It's all because the price of gasoline is "indecent," Barnard explains.

So anyway, not to be all clueless here or anything, but if you have one of those $25,000 watches are they like, you know, better minutes? Or are they pretty much the same old regular minutes you get with the $10,000 brand?
