I agree... have been guesstimating 2011 - 2012 but who knows? The gamble was to avoid a crash, and buy time until the economy could recover. But the stimulus isn't stimulating, the banks aren't lending and everybody knows the economy hasn't begun to improve - it's just not getting worse. Debt was a problem 10 years ago, and now it's accelerating. The only positive is that the dollar's slow decline makes US exports more competitive - but that comes at great cost. Everybody's talking "The Story", trying to instill confidence even while we watch Wall Street make out like bandits. Looking at the stats, only about ~30% or less of the population really "gets it". The background facts are ugly, and the distance between The Story and The Truth is astronomical. Jim
