Reviewing Our January 2009 Market Predictions

This article is very troubling to me. It is mathmatically impossible for the consumer to lead the recovery, yet he makes up 70 percent of the economy. This article is telling us that the other 30 percent will offset the decline in the 70 percent. The government cannot stimulate forever because the Fed and the international banksters in Basel do not want the largest economy in the world to behave like a banana republic. They will put mark to market or whatever they have to onto the banks in regulation in order to keep the US dollar under control.

Just remember these same banksters allowed off balance sheet banking at Basel 2 in the 1990's, so you cannot trust them.
