    I hope you are correct.... but the fundamentals and the technicals are all pointing downhill right now.

    Do you see anything turning that around?

    Europe?

    China?

    Our Credit market?

    Our real estate market?

    Seriously... I would like to know what you think the driving force for economic growth is going to be.

    You clearly have no idea what you are talking about when you say the odds of a double dip are unlikely right now. The odds are greater for the double dip than not at this point. Especially when you factor in what is going on in Europe and China right now.
    Looks like I was correct!

    So you are breaking out a thread from almost two years ago to use as back-up for stating that "people" were saying there could be a double dip two months ago?

    No Jarod, you were not correct. At that time the odds were greater for a double dip than not. You are ignoring what happened since that point.

    Let me try and help Jarod out... since that time....

    1) Obama extended all of the Bush tax cuts
    2) Obama cut the required Social Security tax by 2% for employees (which has led to SS running neg three years earlier than anticipated)
    3) Europe has repeatedly bailed out Greece, to their long term detriment but short term gain

    No, I am posting this thread to show that two years proved me correct.

    No, pushing the problems into the future is not a solution Jarod. It is a cop out. It shows what I have been stating... Obama is not a leader. He has no clue what leadership means. All he cares about is re-election. He could care less about fixing the problems.
