Heartfelt Ponderings

Does the U.S. need a recession?

In Market Watch from Dow Jones, Paul B. Farrell writes a brilliant piece:

17 reasons America needs a recession
Think positive, this ‘slow motion train wreck’ is good for the U.S.

Paul says a recession would affect:

1. Purge the excesses of the housing boom

2. U.S. dollar wake-up call

3. Write-offs

4. Budgeting

5. Overconfidence

6. Ratings

7. China

8. Oil

9. Inflation

10. Moral hazard

11. War costs

12. CEO pay

13. Privatization

14. Entitlements

15. Consumers

16. Regulation

17. Sacrifice

Have any of these aroused your curiosity? I hope so. I don’t want to steal any of Paul’s thunder so I urge you to go HERE and read the entire article. You’ll be glad you did.
