Crisis Era - Sequel Available Soon!

Magnet for Pessimism?

I can't escape the sense that our nation's economic foundation is rotting beneath us. I find it hard to deny the feeling of impending crisis that is beginning to resonate with undeniable clarity. The message is gradually organizing itself in my brain like pieces to a puzzle. Its all fitting together reinforcing a sense of impending catastrophe.

I feel like a minority, but I'd rather be a realistic pessimist than an ignorant optimist.

All Insane

I am intrigued by the persistent disconnect some people have between reality and perception. Yesterday Bush admitted the economy had some "storm clouds" but persisted in stating that the economy is "sound". Today, on Kudlow, McCain mentioned essentially the same thing... that the economy is sound. Most television-economists insist the same thing.

They are all insane.

Cash Cow America

I sense, that America is in it's "cash-cow" phase of existence. The world is changing, and the momentum is no longer on America's side. America has peaked. Underlying currents of economic and political turmoil are growing. But this is not inherently a bad thing.  It is a naturally occurring universal law as a warning against complacency.
