How Do You See The Economy

We need more certainty regarding tax and regulation coupled with restraint in spending. If we achieve this I believe we can be out of this in eighteen months ,but it has to start now. Without this, the fluidity we see in world markets will cause us to be playing catch-up for years. There will be a greater disparity among states than we have witnessed since reconstruction

how do you see the economy, that was the question! Originally Posted by Fast Gunn

Higher interest rates. Devaluation of the US dollar. Increased pressure on the federal budget due to higher borrowing costs.

Guys and gals, we're in a real mess right now, and the outlook ain't rosy.

And: Please let's not get into the blame game on this. This group is smart enough to know that there is plenty of blame to go around, to both political parties, for the last 40+ years. And anyone who thinks that one person/law/act/political party/administration is responsible is delusional.

Nina, I wish everyone on the board had your PMA.

Positive mental attitude.

Why are there so many negative people out there?

Is it just easier to become negative than to try and be positive in spite of the struggles of life?

. . . Anyway, I did not like the outcome of the election.

Only 25% see the economy improving?

You've got to be kidding me!

I demand a recount!

Things are bad right now and until there is a fundamental change in Washington they will not improve. The realistic ones see that.

Go to any fair poll out there and you will see that the majority of people do not like the way things are and do like the way they are being handled in Washington.

Like the liberals currently in power, you refuse to see the truth even when it is right in front of your eyes.

You know...

Hmmmm. . .wouldn't it be nice if a poll result was all it took to improve this economy?

Well, yes it would, but a poll like that does measure this nebulous quality called "consumer confidence" in the economy.

We all together determine the direction of the economy.

If we all think it's all going to collapse, then we sell everything and hunker down.

If we think prices are going to start rising again and we have the cash, then we might invest.

The biggest of those two groups will then swing the balance and indicate how the economy will go.

I'm am expecting it to swing in the right direction.

Let's all hope that I am right!

Actually, I think we can think anything we want about the economy. That doesn't mean it will be true.
