don't know which forum you were going to post on but economics would get the cold shoulder very quickly on just about any other forum. And the political forum is full of blow hard radicals (both ways).
Best to stick here. At least there's a chance of coherent co-thinking.
Basically, when looking into economic pieces that make up this puzzle we're trying to sort through, we have to separate the myriad of threads so as not to confuse and possibly distort our conclusions. Get the facts right!
Then we sort out what is relevant. Saves time!
Work on individual problems or components until they make sense. Builds background knowledge!
Put it all together...and guess the outcome!
As I have more to loose than you and would probably be better resourced and at this longer than most then I have an advantage. Big deal. Predicting financial Armageddon: so we all suffer!
A suggestion for you. As you seem to be into sifting through micro American financial problems (our economic picture is caused by and based on attitudes, corruption, system failures etc) gather common data in piles so that instead of 50 pieces of information you have one.
eg. systemic debt problems by US councils can be classified by grouping similar problems for all US states. Then we know eg. 30 states have the same ecomonic problem with the same root cause.
Later all these different problems can be looked at and analyzed as a national problem.
Good start for you. I'm sorting through some of Europe's mess at the moment.
One last tidbit. The American financial system lost 2 trUSD and the PIIGS stand to loose 9 trUSD.
Europe is a more complicate financial quagmire than the American home grown variety.
Don't stop your posts. Use your own words. Use this forum.
