My fear of systemic collapse has not passed. I still believe we are headed toward a debt crisis which will result in either outright default or hyperinflation. It could take months or years but we won’t get through another decade unscathed.

I also see perpetual unemployment problems as we continue to lose our manufacturing sector.

If you want to see our future, look to Europe. Then factor out any chance the IMF will bail us out.
