Re: SC45

Hello Allen :-) Thanks for the link. A long article, looks interesting. I'll check it out. I think our US economy is in a very precarious state. There are many looming factors that could bring it down in a real bad way, not the least of which is our mindboggleing national debt. Also there are many other developments, like increasing energy problems, climate change, quickly changing ( toward the negative ) geopolitical trends, etc, that will be putting further pressure on an already struggling US economic situation. As for the record levels of the US stockmarket, a fine example of how crazy things are getting, as its euphoric climb of late, is completely detached from the real world. Its like the frenzy of a pyramid scheme, as long as the people involved believe in it, go along with it without question, then it works. Its not based on realistically anything of real value, just the workings of the convoluted, complicated structure and scheme it represents. If the confidence in this system falters, as it looks more and more likely that it may, then this hallucinated system ( like the US economic fiasco ) can fall dramatically, and fall fast. Not something I wish for, because we of course will all be impacted greatly, but that seems the way we are headed.
