Hi All, I predict that 2009 will be better than expected: With about $1 trillion in job creation dollars and little loss in car jobs, the Kondratieff upswing we are in should carry us along.
The US is in the position of a company that has just suffered a massive embezzlement: Billions to the Arabs, the enormous fees to the money managers for their legalized swindles, the billions squandered on the Iraq War, billions to the Chinese for the conspicuous consumption of junk (the classic being putting melamine in bayby food to raise the nitrogen content to indicate a high protein content), and the enormous interest and fees due to credit cards. But the Company (the US) is really in good shape (Yeah, I know -- try to get a loan to buy a car -- this is just the bankers smacking us coming and going). The problem I see on the horizon is the ferocious war that will be waged on alternative energy, starting with the low price of oil.
