Now there's a thoughtful and reasoned argument ... NOT >>''Even in the Philippines the people get rid of the politicians,'' said Allyn. ''In Japan, somehow the politicians just hang around.'' And that is where America is different. This country could certainly go into a slump. It could also have a long bout of weak stock prices. But there is no way it would stand around and do nothing while the economy and the market sunk into the ooze. The Federal Reserve would cut interest rates dramatically. Impatient voters would toss politicians out on their ears. If things got worse, more drastic measures would be considered. Heck, we might buy Canada and sell Nebraska and Kansas (would anyone notice?) if that's what it took to get the economy back on track. Americans reinvented the economy in the 1990s. They would do so again if that became necessary. The bottom line: The bears are growling up the wrong tree. The United States isn't going the way of Japan. You can take that prediction to the bank. <<
