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.

Go to the main solo2 site, click on Find Other Users and search for "Stacey Miller". She's got a one-armed economist. }:)
