This recovery is perhaps made more difficult because of global factors, I don't know. I do know that it ain't over yet and it will likely get worse.
I've seen many cycles since the end of W.W.II. We all survived. Today we have for the first time trillionaire enemies, Middle East fanatics and the Chi-coms. We had enough sense not to build the Soviet economy.
No, we only built a soviet-style economy here. That’s the problem!
You raise a point. I had been wondering what machinations might be at work that have escaped public notice. I have to wonder if this isn't a case of someone flying too close to the sun.
