Low energy prices do not start a recession, except in a country dependent upon the money like Iran and Venezuela.
Autocratic regimes will bear the brunt of falling oil prices.
Personally, I could care less that our adversaries are on the verge of being bankrupt.
I hope the price of oil drops a lot further.
Not so sure. Where are the growth areas in the US? Silicon Valley? I don't think so. ND, SD, OK, TX, the oil boom states were certainly one of the growth areas in this country.
Not that is going bust, and one of the growth areas in the economy is gone. Plus the defaults on all the lending to the oil and oil service companies. Could be enough to start another big recession. If prices continue to get cheaper, that will be a big clue.
