This inspires me to return to school, gain the degree and add one more thing I can charge people for, that must have someone provide a "WAG".

On the one hand, the economy facing a dramatic decrease in production and resulting declining inventories, combined with loosening credit, increased savings, and an upswing in consumer confidence could be poised for a dramatic and maybe historic economic upturn.

On the other hand, we may be plunging into an imploding mess of stagflation and decades of lost wealth.

Just a BTW.... The one armed/handed economist joke is based on the famous story that President Truman once exclaimed to his staff to find him one after an ambiguous presentation by his economic advisor.
