we are seeing answer unfold: AUTO SALES will lead to recession

in almost every previous post-WW2 recession, cars & housing led the nation's economy into recession

the auto sector has financed the path to oblivion
last year my father patriotically bought a new Buick
he did NOT need one, since his last one was model 1997
it only had 48k miles on it
he asked how I liked it the next day
I smiled, and raised a brow
he said be honest
I said "worst car mfr on earth, worst quality of any car mfr selling in North America"
he laughed

the entire foundation has disintegrated from car demand
they have drained all nearby future demand
they have addicted their customers to free financing
within a couple years, 1000's of dealerships will shutter

the recession will be led by car mfg sector
and joined by housing
the dynamic duo was late, but they will arrive soon enough
their impact will be tremendous upon the stalling economy
these two will push the economy into recession

despite the bullshite press/media reporting, a Double Dip recession is the norm
get ready for it, because Wall Street certainly is not
they actually believe a lousy flimsy 25-50 bpt rate cut will matter
??????????????????????

but as I continue to harp, THEY ARE FINANCIAL ILLITERATES
they are heading off a cliff
if it werent so sad, it would be utterly HILARIOUS

next step: FORD FACES BANKRUPTCY ON DEBT ROLLOVER
no more profits, drain on cash reserves, pension underfunded

the whole nation is looking to the Fed for a miracle
THEY DONT HAVE ONE, since they are powerless
their measures are almost meaningless
the illiterates will soon receive a costly education
