In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street:

• Why the logo change won’t save Cracker Barrel
• The real reason customers aren’t coming back
• Why this isn’t Bud Light—it’s worse
• What brands should do instead of chasing cheap PR stunts

With youth unemployment rising, prices climbing, and Washington spending like there’s no tomorrow, the Fed’s softening tone may please Wall Street—but it won’t fix the deeper problems dragging down our economy.
