I don't. The consumption piece of the US economy, a large part of which is fed by imports, is doing very badly and will continue to do badly. But in my book that's a plus -- the US needs to cut back consumption and stay on a diet for a long time. On the other hand, the energy and manufacturing parts of the economy are reviving. The combination may be just what the doctor ordered. The GDP and employment numbers will not be pretty for some time but the "quality" of the GDP and employment is steadily improving. We are replacing Starbucks baristas with oil field workers.
