1. Europeans need to get their economy going.
They need to some moderate deregulation in order to get the economy going again.

That said: GO EURO GO!!!

2. Stock market crash
Wouldn't it be just a shame if the stock market crashed before January? Wonder what the pundits would say then?

5. My guess is there
would be allowed to happen another huge terror attack to cover any impending crash.

The market will be closed, various interests will have been founding to have been shorting it, then it will reopen a couple of thousand points lower, just like last time.

It's a legal holiday in Japan today, so the markets won't open until tomorrow.

7. starting ????
The dollar has been in severe decline against the euro for quite some while! It is painful to even buy a cup of coffee overseas.

8. maybe we should do a poll prediction
Of how long before the Republicans take us to a total economic collapse.

Word from the world bank is 5 years.

I'll start with 1.6.

9. I don't think it will be total collapse, but there might be some major
shocks (followed by a long slower slide) within 6 months, is my guess.
