#4 The bull will return when
a) the governments currency monopoly is managed by bank supervision rather than global regulation.
b) the government stops punishing people for working.
c) the government stops rewarding people for doing stupid things.
d) A property value tax stops rent-seeking.

#5 BPtf,

Could you explain why you think a property value tax stops rent seeking?

#10 Some estimates I've heard put the DOW at between 800-1500 for about 10 years. The biggest variable is how long it will take the USG to give up and default on the national debt.

That will kill most international trade, require a balanced budget, end government largesse such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and reduce the size of the USG by over 50%.

The recovery will begin in earnest with the rebuilding of the US industrial infrastructure that has been outsourced.

#11 The recovery will begin in earnest with the rebuilding of the US industrial infrastructure that has been outsourced.

#12 "reduce the size of the USG by over 50%"

While I'd resent the loss of all the SS money they've stolen from me over the years, reducing the fed gummint by 50% might make it worthwhile. :-(

#14 The recovery will begin in earnest with the rebuilding of the US industrial infrastructure that has been outsourced.

So we could add millions of more unemployed Americans rather than millions of unemployed Chinese.
