>>“February 2009 prediction is tin hat stuff”<<

Outside the context of this thread, I’d think you were serious. Within the context of this thread I detect a hint of sarcasm. ;)

What is fascinating to me is that back in 2006 I was predicting that this thing could actually get worse than the great depression. Not only was I vilified for it, but even I had a hard time accepting it. My raw understanding of history and human nature told me it was a very real possibility, but my emotions just could not fathom it.

It turned out to be more real than even I thought.

It is like the time Bill Gates made the comment that computers could reach a standard price point below $1,000 and it seemed ridiculous, if it were not for him being the one saying it. What I am saying is that it is all about our ability to break strong paradigms.

With all that said, I actually DO think the February 2009 prediction is believable - and MUCH MORE so than last March. Just look at how our leaders (and leaders of certain other countries) are acting. It is peculiar.

I am one of those that believes this stimulus package will pass in one form or another. I am also one of those that believe that if it does, in a few months we will be in the same condition, only worse, and several hundred billion down.

Say, isn’t next February just a few months away?

Don’t bet the farm on it ... the future will tell.

Take what cautions you would take IF it were truth.

Better to be safe than sorry.

The main thing is consider all the credit card balances ... pay them off now.

So wait, you got this email BEFORE September 2008? So you didn’t just get this AFTER the September dump?

Ok, NOW I’m a little more worried.

And with this stimulus nightmare...
