My thoughts on this article were pretty much a combination of what both of you expressed–Hobie and SK.
Now, I guess the real question is, if any these positive predictions do prove to be true, will any of this make much difference in the lives/bottom line of “average Americans?” Also, because many of these “positives” also have “negatives” associated with them. (increased consumerism=lower savings rates=destitute future retirees, etc.)
Yet, even though the financial direction of our country appears dire, I’m hoping, more for the sake of future generations than anything else, that we can somehow overcome our problems, but I’m not too optimistic.
The next ten to twenty years in this country are going to be very interesting.
