5. I see some bright spots.
One thing, with housing deflating, young people will be able to buy homes, assuming they can find work.

Another thing, I disagree with the idea that our current model of growth growth growth measured only by GNP increase, without considering our natural resources in the equation, is a good one.

Things that are made in the USA will be more competetive as the dollar tanks. Except for things made in China, there's that yuan problem...

All around me small businesses are going through major troubles, but knock wood, we are doing fine, a nice change from last year.

Anyway. When other small businesses go down, that hurts us all.
