<it's possible that a soft landing will result, like in '94.> I think it's possible as well........ but I also think a 'crash landing' is a possiblility. BTDIK DAK

KL, this seems to be the consensus...of course it is possible, but i would argue that there are material differences to '94, to name a few, private sector debt has exploded since then, a bubble in asset prices has formed, and the current account is producing negative record after record. in short, the imbalances now are far greater than in '94. i agree btw. that oil prices and the budget surplus have done more to produce a bit of a slowdown than the not-at-all tight Fed policy.
