Nonsense it may be. Economic forecasting is a chancy business. But I wouldn't rule out anything. Despite all the brave talk by the new crowd in Washington, the numbers I see are almost all discouraging, and if the Bank of Almerica is in trouble we're all in trouble, serious trouble. I have clear memories of the Great Depression: turned collars, cardboard insoles. lots of navy beans, and little hope for a better tomorrow. I wish the Obama administration every success, but I fear they have created such expectations that when they fail to deliver -- and they're sure to fail in some areas -- there will be much disappointment, followed by who knows what.
