financialsense.com This is a good article. The debt base of 1988 came close to wiping out many in the corporate area. The policies of free flow money as clearly shown by personal credit as shown in the charts have created a very high risk environment that is starting to topple in the general economy now as well as corporate earnings. There are some thoughts out there the very war we are in might improve out economy within a two to three year time period Take this thought as it is implied, mathematical economy figures, not people hearts. Right now no one i speak to is forecasting any improvement in growth figures. The trend still seem to be cutting back is the means of creating profit. It is a very non rational time the Fed creates money the money flow is not being reflected in growth figures. Profits are being created by contraction and the FED continues to expand the dollar supply and reduce interest. About all this has done in my mind is to decrease the interest on loans carried, add to the reduction of overall cost but not aid in the building of future business. This war will increase the size of the government and in doing so add some dollars to the economy. I do not feel it will be enough. Thank you for the urls.
