The way I look at it is Europe and the US had a relative level of wealth that they never should have had.We never worked for or deserved it(not in the last 20 years anyways) .We enjoyed it while the going was good.Party over!Grow up!If we recognize our situation we can be in great shape 15 years down the road.We must accept the situation and make needed changes.What amazes me is that the Germans played a great game but risk it all by not leaving the Euro.The US needs a leader.We have been incompetent in War and Economics for years.I am in the airport with the news in the background.One idiot after the other, completely blind as to what is going on.Even on this board only half "get it"

Will China Implode and Bring the U.S. Down With It? "If China implodes, what will happen to the U.S. economy?" There are a couple of cyclical considerations that can be addressed in this regard. The first is that while the famous 4-year "business cycle" is scheduled to bottom later this year, around late September/early October, once the cyclical pressure from this lifts, the U.S. financial market should be in a position to resume its leadership position among the major countries, including China. If we assume China is well into a decline by that time, we can project a scenario in which the U.S. shrugs off this external divergence, much as it did when Japan's stock market and economy collapsed in 1990. That leaves the last of the long-term yearly cycles, the 6-year cycle, to push the U.S. stock market into one final growth spurt into 2011 before it peaks next year. seekingalpha.com
