A few people convinced.

That the US economy hasn't gone to hell in a hand basket.

Bernanke economy proves critics clueless on Fed. (Bloomberg site) US economy strengthening and inflation in check.

There are considering turning parts of Detroit
back into farmland. The current talk is a few
months of job growth....were headed back to the
good old days....not. Close some of the 700
military bases around the world, cut subsidies for
ethanol production and watch what that does to
farm land values in Iowa....POP!

[tmyrfield]

the main stream media are spinning so called good news economic stories like improving unemployment for one reason only...to get obama back into power in november

Kick the can down the road another few years. Ethanol Subsides have already been cut starting 01/01/12. How long do I wait fer this "pop sound"??? I'll be waiting with a Blank Cheque in Hand..........

Governments know that too much fossil fuel is
used to make ethanol than is economical.
Furthermore this extra demand for grain has
pushed up food costs. If governments spent the
budget converting cheap natural gas, I'd be much
happier. As for the pop, I think it might be more
like a whoosh.
