#6 Depression seems like the best-case outcome at this point.

#7 Well, considering Obama has set a fiscal IED set to go off on January 1 when taxes double on capital gains and dividends and the Bush era income tax cuts expire, yeah. If the Republicans don't win the Senate, the Democrats have set things up to blow sky high with the economy starting January 1. Business investment will come to a screeching halt.

Taking the Senate is going to be the key because if they don't the Democrats will not allow those things to be repealed and will bring the entire economy crashing down for no reason but to politically damage the Republicans.

The Democrats don't give a pinch of owl scat about the average person in this country, they are just looking for political power.

#8 'Romney will take US economy into depression'

Looks like Lindorff is already planning for Obozo's defeat by blaming the depression he has exacerbated on Romney.

#9 Fear mongering, a sure sign of political desperation. Whatever happened to "Hope and Change"?

#10 One interesting economic prediction:

In my view, at this point, the hope that a full-scale European crisis can be averted is merely wishful thinking, bordering on naiveté.

#11 Considering the indicators to describe the first Great Depression, how are we not in a Depression now other than the usual doublespeak of Ministry of Truth? /rhet question

#12 1. Lindorff calls himself an investigative reporter. However, the piece is short on investigation and reporting.

2. Stimulus spending has been so successful (sarc). Europe is not in trouble because of spending too much. They have bloated governments and too much spending. The U.S. suffers the same problem--too much spending and too many entitlements.

#13 Europe is ~~not~~ in trouble because of spending too much. Sorry for the "not." It changes the entire meaning.

#14 I would take JUST a depression instead of the complete collapse of the world economy that is happening under teh 0ne.

#15 "The idea that Americans are saying in a poll that they don't think it will make much difference which person is elected president, Romney or Obama, shows the incredible both naivety of the American public and more importantly, the really poor level of reporting in the American media on economic issues," he said.

To be honest I don't think there is a regular on rantburg that would disagree with that one. We just come out with a different answer when confronted with logic than a Nation reporter who has to create his own facts.
