Yahoo Breakout: Is the U.S. Heading into Double-Dip Recesion?

  • Is America in a recession?  No, leave it up to NBR
  • After a huge crisis, indebtedness, takes years to unravel
  • Stimulus not enough, very weak economy
  • Reduces chance of absolute slump (stimulus)
  • Massive contraction won't happen.  Long and painful experience, lengthy process
  • Accelerate debt reduction as a possible solution, details of program?
  • US Economy dependent on household spending
  • Corporations sitting on cash, what to do?  Want to see investment.  Encourage disbursement of cash.
  • Emerging market demand will carry things for a while, but not enough
