"With a good, cleaned-up and expanded infrastructure rebuilding program that is legally facilitated, made more labor intensive and well administered, we can attack the unemployment program directly and help improve our infrastructure for the future recovery at the same time."

Yeah, that Rx worked just perfectly for Japan! Public spending....yeah, that's the ticket!

WHEW! Everything is gonna be OK! I feel so much better!

How are KoolAid futures?

This author has them cornered.

[Scotsman will be Free]

Yes, but if we persist in buying things(national health care)we can’t pay for we will go down the drain.

[Ronbo1948]

Ain’t gonna happen - The SOCIALIST DemoRATS will steal the 2010 election just like they did 2008.

I think this is a more likely scenario myself

Hap-py days arrrre here a-gain!

I went ahead and also looked at Richard Duncan’s prognostications in his “Fall of Rome” ideas. They’re grim.

Here are my predictions.
1. Many predictions will have a germ of truth contained within them, but no single prediction will be able to tell me what will happen with complete precision.
2. No matter how well I plan, the unexpected will occur.
3. No solution to any problem solves it with perfection.
4. As long as there are people involved, expect uncertainty.

So I don’t know what’s going to happen to the economy in 10 months or 10 years, and these writers can make predictions based on better knowledge than mine, but even as their predictions are made, people are changing their habits and outlooks and ideas to either profit from those expert predictions or avoid the dire consequences of those expert predictions.

All I know is that I’m glad that I built a root cellar this fall. It’s nice to have fresh veggies at little cost. I’m also glad that I have a son who tells me that no matter what happens, he’s got my back, and a lovely wife who supports me, and faith in God that there’s a reason for all this. Otherwise, I’m just keeping my eyes open for anything.

#26 That incoming asteroid hit will erase all of these economic problems instantly

[Errant]

Maybe because were going to have deflationary hyper-inflation?

Last sentence: We need to take heart, fix things and get busy.

From the profile of author Kimball Corson:

I retired early and have been circumnavigating the world on my own sailboat for the last several years. I survived the tsunami in Pago Pago, American Samoa and left there for New Zealand, but my autopilot failed in route and I am now in Neiafu, Vava'u, Tonga for the cyclone season in the South Pacific.

Define depress. Prices at the grocery store don’t reflect depression, unless inflation is depression. Even at inflated prices, people have fewer dollars, so maybe that is depression. But all is well. The US is rich enough to handle 50 percent unemployment and a dollar that trades even with the peso. It’s all good. Don’t worry about those rising fuel prices. Energy doesn’t have anything to do with production. Besides, production obviously doesn’t have anything to do with the market. We are going to be okay. Insurance premiums are up, way up, while coverage is down, but Obamaocare is on its way. Can’t get a loan to buy a car, but can’t find a car dealer anyhow, and you don’t need a car to drive to work when you don’t have a job. It’s cool. The price of peppers in Peru is up. China is doing well, and someone, somewhere got a capital gains tax cut. So there is hope.
