The newest trend is stagflation. Jimmy Carter inherited his form the Vietnam War debt and OPEC and Iran's rebellion. Bush created his. This is what happens when you spend 13 trillion dollars of borrowed money (estimated by 2010 if Bush's policies remain in place), triple the price of gasoline and more than double the price of health care, then refuse to tax the rich and big corporations more than the bare minimum, refuse to go after huge tax cheats, hand out enormous corporate welfare checks that are not even needed and reward those same corporations for sending US jobs overseas. What do we have left? The most in-debt US population in history including millions who are losing their homes or may lose them in the next few years.

Those who have hedged against the Bush economy and dollar have done well (I have been in BEARX for a year and pleased). Everyone else's Bush dollars are really worth 50 cents, and the tab for the big borrow and spending Bush party has yet to be paid. The Iraq debacle alone (a complete waste of money in the most corrupt kind of way) will cost each average American more than $10,000. But none of it's been paid yet, so it's all gathering interest. The biggest economic disaster since the 70's is upon us.
