[quote=SK in CV][quote=SD Realtor]Your entire premise appears to be based on a belief that we will return to the way things were. I don’t think that is true at all. Your argument about a return to 2004 levels to me is not solid. I think it is safe to say that the 2004 economy was robust but for the wrong reasons, (see a housing boom fueled by unrealistic pricing and artificially low rates). This is not about any republican candidate at all. It is about the current level of spending and the lack of economic growth, not about increased revenues.[/quote]

No, my premise is drops. And how a few drops can go a long ways.[/quote]

Excellent points SDR. The 2004 economy was smoke and mirrors consumer debt/lending driven, not a solid industrial driven economy.

Drops may make some difference but not enough to get us out of the new hole that has been dug, especially if/when interest rates rise…
