Today President Barack Obama nixed his administration's plan to implement an environmental regulation that could have cost as much as $90 billion.

In May of 1980 Mount St. Helens erupted, The Empire Strikes Back premiered, the arcade game Pac-Man was released and it was the last time US consumer confidence was as low as it is today. The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment was projected to dip slightly from 63.7 to 62 but it has plummeted to 54.9 - a level not seen since late in the term of President Jimmy Carter.
