>>>"How deep or how shallow will the slowdown in US growth be? "

I don't know either. Too many forces push each way, and no recent assessment of the size of the forces

+ side
export growth
import subsitution / decline
strong corporate balance sheets outside of affect finance firms
Federal government fiscal stimulus
FED and ECB printing money
Lots of oil money looking for a home

- side
subprime crisis, day 500
high gasoline prices
weaker employment
weaker consumer spending
Iraq expenses
etc.
