Weekly Wrap: Numbers besides 10,000

A Wall Street sign

    It's always a "high" when the "Weekly Wrap-up" features Felix and Heidi. Their insights and chemistry make it a pleasure to hear yet again more economic news. I'm sure that I'm not the only listener who feels this way.

    I was rather disturbed by the comments of Heidi Moore and Felix Salmon (and - to a lesser extent - Kai Ryssdal) regarding how "juicy" the stats and figures they were discussing are. Behind this "juicy" information are people out of work, people struggling, and a nation crumbling. They should take this into consideration before sounding like morning talk show gossip columnists. Thank you.
