"About the only think I agree with in this article is if economic growth slows it might tumble, other than that he sounds like Chicken Little."

LOL. A common tactic of leftists is to call someone they don't agree with a name (e.g. chicken little) without refuting any of their points nor making any substantive points yourself. Are you from DU?

Well, Mr. hubbubhubbub had you read past the Chicken Little you would have read my thoughts about about energy prices and the Fed's tactics.
I even stated that they were my opinions, it was only a six line post which basically stated that the Fed was IMO largely responsible for the last 2 recessions and may be herding us to the next. The author presented what he thinks will cause a recession, I stated what I think might lead the economy to one, I think my points were substantive albeit my opinion only, as for refuting his everything he wrote about has been present in varying degrees for the last decade, with the exception of the very high energy prices. He does not present energy prices as the trigger to the downturn but one of several. I merely think he's overstating his case and state if things go down what might cause it. Please explain to me how this is a straw-man's argument, how am I trolling? At least I didn't STOP with the sentence you quoted.
