It would have been similar if world economy wouldn’t be revolving at USA. Still we at USA are fortunate this trend of world Economy revolving around us, so the trend whatever worst but it is not going to spin that direction.

So we can’t imaging the same trend, but sure it could go still worst furhter and we never really learnd any lessons though many experts were making such a hue n cry when Greenspan was doing toooooooooooo muuuuuuuucccccccccchhhhhhh rate cuts than required to us 🙂
