The economy runs off people spending their money, the more people that don't spend, the worse the economy will get. I've recently began studying the great depression and a factor to the depression was that everyone got scared and withdrew all their money from the banks causing them to close. Also in a recent study when the newspapers print positive things about the economy stocks usually go up more compared to when the news prints about "how bad the economy is" (supposedly). So I think that our economy is majorly based on ourselves, if we don't think it will get better and we start bailing on the dollar, the worse it will actually get.
