When BRACKETS reset everyone gets whacked, everyone over 40K, if Obama thinks giving money ala non refundable tax credits will do it, he’s nuts,. Those folks don’t have money that will drive the economy, the real middle and upper middle class do.

Bond yields are shockingly low, the lower they get the worse for us;

5-Year 1.500
10-Year 3.750

When the 10 year gets blow 3.% we are in deep shit, that means that the big money has more faith in long term survival than in growth. The 5 year coupled with trhe low 10 year yield, is already at a level that is worrying many, if this hits 1.25% we are fuking cooked. And I mean cooked.

I will predict here and now, unless something very drastic and smart occurs as to our national monetary policy, a 10% national unemployment rate by May 1st.
