<Maybe we have bottomed> Maybe... but unemployment hasn't hit 20% yet, so I doubt it. data.bls.gov Seeing 'some' retailers of silly un-needed products closing up, but not many. Yet. economix.blogs.nytimes.com Sustainable? How? What the chart is missing is that consumers of 30 years ago also MANUFACTURED stuff. Today, they are supported by a lattice work of businesses that ultimately give China IOU's and get dirt cheap goods in return. The game has been kept going by ever declining interest rates to goose debt volume at any little hicup in the structure. Well, rates are zero (with every widow and orphan has plowed into the stock market to try and make "something" btw... nice job Ben and Allan)... soooo??? Who's gonna buy stuff?
