    Optimism, it makes nosense to hope for it simply to satisfy someone else's misguided concept.

    Didn't the United States get downgraded by S&P on their AAA rating? So now they have to pay more interest. All that military power spending won't get you anywhere unless you do evil things with it. The U.S. annual interest alone can slash our entire debt in half. If we get rid of Quebec we'd be in the surplus!

    Oh I might have to add.

    Greece is facing austerity that is causing ton of hardship for it's people. With the global debt actually greater than it's economy it's only a matter of time that the wall separating the 1st and the 3rd world will crumble. Those of the 3rd world will dispense unbelievable misery to the 1st world. And the entire world will enslaved by poverty while the 'money exchangers' of today will be the masters.

    Something like that.

    The playing field is being leveled somewhat due to globalization. Which invariably means dragging the wealthy down to the level of the poor, rather than the other way 'round.

    Please listen to Peter Schiff and Max Keiser on this subject. The crash of 2008 was a result of the FIAT money system deflating. The crash of 2008 was just a warm up. The main event is coming. Stack gold and silver.

    I truely believe we haven't hit the real recession yet. We've just slowed it down by lowering interest and bailing out some large corporations but we can't afford to do this forever. Countries and provinces credit ratings are starting to be downgraded something that we never forecast to happen and it has a huge impact. Once household interest start rising next year all the people that took out mortgages at ridiculously low prices will feel it in 5 years when interest goes double digit. Businesses will also be impacted by higher interest resulting in lower jobs.

    We've just made the bubble bigger and when it pops we'll just blame the government as usual for all the spending that we elected them to spend.

    Do you understand what causes a recession? What about the role lowering interest rates and government spending has in the system?

    This isnt exactly the first time through the cycle.

    The quantitative easing can't keep happening. At this rate the US will lose its standing as the reserve currency and there are few countries who's currency is safe. Interest rates will have to go up at some point and real estate will crash. The only safe place to keep your wealth is physical silver and gold.
    The movie "To Big To Fail" is a good insight into the crash of '08. I also like to follow Gerald Celente. He is smart and funny as hell.

    I didnt learn my economic theory from youtube first of all.

    If your so concerned about rising interest rates, lock in your mortgage.

    Once an economy picks up higher interest rates are a good thing. Why is the US in such a hole? When they were in the largest growth period ever they should have raised interest rates and been paying off debt instead of spending so much money.

    Soon enough Canada will start to report a surplus.

    I don't take any economic information seriously, they all have an agenda. There have been people preaching about the big collapse ever since we dropped the gold standard. On the flip side some economists were convincing people at one point we had become recession proof.

    The value of our dollar my drop, but then again the value of your services will then increase equally in the opposite direction.

    Our economy has just become a much more complicated trade and barter system than it started out as.
