OT to the max. And what are you basing this bit of economic observation on? I'm seeing the real estate / construction industry at an all-time high, there's crazy-silly prices in our region. I just saw a report that over 15% of the homes in our region sold for over a million. The tech market is on another rampage (that might be regional however) that the nasdaq hasn't caught on to (thankfully). I see an increasing number of people with way more money than brains. I see an ever increasing amount of service industries that can't hire enough people to fulfill demand. And my investments are screaming along quarter after quarter.

My observation is that the economy is nowhere near going down the tubes. If I'm late to the party, somebody please clue me in.
