of course, GreeNumbNut.. recovery powered by debt

household debt increases financed entire Q4 rise in spending

federal debt increases financed tax cuts, and response to WTC attack, including a widening war on terrorism

in October I said the War of Terrorism would slowly take a transition into a War on Islam
it is unfolding on schedule

it was corporate off-the-cliff drop in business spending that pushed the economy into recession
it will be business spending that brings us out of recession

IT IS NOT HAPPENING
the US is now a good deal deeper in debt
total debt, public + corporate + private = $32 TRILLION
which is 5x the US GDP

stage #2 of the Debt Collapse happens later this year
this process is NOT reversible

anyone who believes the economy can be revived in a sustained fashion by the CheckWriting Federal Reserve (which includes Voltaire), deserves to have all his/her money stripped away and put in the hands of a responsible person with eyes open

the big surprise is gonna be rising interest rates
and commodity inflation, which can no longer be suppressed by paper-based leverage
enter: The Decade of Commodities
(for all those who can and do read history books)
