Fair point RB, but are we talking recovery? How much are we having now with the massive contraction involved with another million Americans being dumped onto the jobless heap this week as even US official (cooked like a turkey) figures show a rapidly deflating economy? As the shutdown rolls on, huge damage is being inflicted on confidence, consumer demand & business in general. The only thing holding up the US is Wall St & it can't defy reality forever, rigged or not imo. I await the overdue downgrading of US bonds from their completely undeserved AAA status to a more appropriate level, somewhere near junk, then the bankruptcy of the corrupt US financial system and the oblivion of the banksters, and it's replacement with a value-backed dollar (including of course gold & silver at the appropriate price, lol) and other deserving reserve currencies such as the yuan, yen, euro etc. this usd petrodollar scam is well past its use-by date.
