I hate to pee on your Wheaties, but I just don't see the economy doing as well as you ACL. They just admitted to 850,000 more jobs lost last year than reported. The tax increases for next year will suck out any additional capital any recovery will produce. Freddy and Fannie will require ginormous bailouts soon. Real unemployment is 16% We lost almost 10 million jobs last year.
The budget battle coming is the true test. If that passes as submitted it is nothing less than the destruction of the United States as a free capitalist nation. It will spend money we will never have. There is a parallel to our government and our company. Both are saddled with huge amounts of debt. One is prudently trying to pay it down, reducing spending, not shopping for new shiny things to buy, and doing everything to raise more revenue for the long term. One is doing just the opposite.
