The USA and those countries in the wrong end of the euro
are going to bring the world to its knees
I am optimistic and I can not see anything good happening in the next few years
Any one who has a mortgage should seriously look at income insurance
I may be pessimistic .
Here in Australia we will not be effected as bad as some countries.
But is you are one of those who looses their job that is no comfort.
I remember well the recession we had to have
Whats coming will not be any better than that
interest rates of 18% REMEMBER
I will be quite happy if I am proven wrong!

Vette Obsessed:
Something I got from another site:
"If the US Government was a family, they would be making $58,000 a year, they spend $75,000 a year, & are $327,000 in credit card debt. They are currently proposing BIG spending cuts to reduce their spending to $72,000 a year. These are the actual proportions of the federal budget & debt, reduced to a level that we can understand." - Dave Ramsey
I have to agree with both you guys, things worldwide are going to get a lot worse before they get better.

Now the US is rated a AA risk
that's a laugh
The only thing the US has going for it is that there is really no alternative for a base currency
that's the up side
the down side is that they will drag every one down with them
The sad face it that Australia is following the US
On a smaller scale
If we did not have coal and iron ore
we would already be rated at third world status
saving here are getting under cointroll
credit is on the reduction in the households.
How ever our governments in Australia do not really want to get the unemployment down further.
the tax policies are counter productive
Rater than collect reasonable tax from employment
they just keep adding taxes to business.
And get at the worked with in direct taxes
There is No incentive to small business to grow and employ more people.
IN fact the opposite is ripe, like America we are exporting our companies and the profits
And eventual our standard of living.
Our gran children will suffer the consequences.
I better stop there.
