America's future is bright

[Chris]

When we saw Charles Morris, the man who analyzed the crash several years before it happened, writing about what he called “the best-kept secret in the economics media,” we thought we’d better tune in. “Comeback: Why the US Sits at the Brink of a New Boom” is Morris’ prediction of a long-term growth period rivaling the 1950s and 1960s. And it’s not going to be a self-destructive boom, as afflicted the housing market; it will be rooted in manufacturing and energy.....

No more phony crises hopefully- now if the Winter ever ends...

Oh my, you are breaking the "Conservatives" hearts. Whatever will they do if things are booming as they were under Clinton? Start using those little drone things they are selling now to look into everyones bedroom windows, and scream we are all going to hell for moral turpitude?

 

[Mr. H.]

We won't even be able to turn the bulb back on for another three years.

 

[Mr. H.]

Moral turpitude? Didn't he play for the Vikings?

 

[GISMYS]

Not with the president we have now!!!

Geez. How is there going to be a "new boom" when you can't put people to work?

 

[blackhawk]

This seems questionable under the policies of the current administration.

Geez. How is there going to be a "new boom" when you can't put people to work?

It's a boom in part time work, food stamps, and disability. The new drivers of the Obama economy.

Too much crack smoking in this thread. The nation as you know it is doomed, accept it.

The stock market is inflated and doomed for an implosion.

Our national debt is going to explode with Democraps continually running up the bill especially with the new costs in Medicaid and obamacare rising these next few years.

Companies will lay off workers once obamacare is fully enforced...if Democraps ever quit delaying it every election.

It'll be bright alright. Give it about 9 months.

What conceivable indication of a boom is there? None that I can see. Our debt is sky high. Social Security and Medicare are headed for bankruptcy. The regulatory apparatus is out of control. The welfare rolls are mushrooming. Where is the silver lining?

Since we are economically tracking like we did in 1929 a boom is unlikely.

 

[R.C. Christian]

And eventually they'll come for that 20 trillion in pension funds. MyRA will be voluntary at first, but it eventually become a self-aware unfunded liability so we can finance more wars and other bullshit. Anyway, when they start talking about taking your 401's run, but there is really nowhere to run to.

I was being sarcastic. ....I must remember to use the smileys.

In other words, in about 9 months I see Dems losing the Senate and the House.
