I read it ... it made me yawn. You can find a variety of views on both sides. It does not make any of them right or wrong. Just opinion. I hope they are right ... yes that is what I said, i hope they are right. You will not find too many conservatives that want the US to fail and not recover. We just do not agree with the policies.

I do not agree with GS 100%, but I do believe we will have a recovery ... the stimulus may contibute some, but I doubt it, but even if it does it is not sustained. when the money goes away so do the programs. You can not rely on the government to keep spending. You need job growth and consumers spending to fuel the economy. There is nothing Obama is doing to make that sustainable.

We are seeing a inventory replenishment recovery. there are no signs of job growth and there are no signs the consumers are opening their wallets. Savings rates keep increasing. People are afraid.

Cash for clunkers created an artificial jump in cars sales. but now the show rooms are empty again.

That is how all government stimulus works. It is a flash in the pan, then it is done.
