What is your 2007 economic forecast?

It cannot be define as decline it is an temporary economic weakness due to more spending towards war and for defence it is my hope .

it's always stay that way...no salary increase...and everything is increasing.

I don't think we're facing a recession--the U.S. economy still seems pretty strong--but with the Federal REserve reducing interest rates the other day, I'm wondering if that might lead to more inflation. The whole scandal with the sub-prime loans is going to hurt some investors, banks, and homeowners because of losses from bad loans, and for homeowners it may be harder for them to get credit to buy a home, for fears that they may default.

am not sure on that but when Light company ups price by 25% and gas up a person on SS just isnt going to make it with the 2% or #5 raise they get a year . Takes it all to pay bills and nothing to eat on

The price of gas will probably increase. The dollar has recovered against many currencies, and I believe the US economy is strong enough to avoid a recession, however expext to feel the cost of filling your car hurting your pocket.

Yes, Dollar will decline, as it is declining now a days...the trend is likely to continue.

Well, I didn't know that we had a dollar decline. I guess I don't pay that much attention to economics at all. I guess I should sometimes. Thanks for sharing this by the way.

No there is no recession or great depression coming according to me.. This is a set back and yes it is quite a big setback but for a country that is waging two wars with extravagant spending a low time in stock market is bound to come.. These mess was started by home loans mess.... The retail and fastfood sector are still doing quite well which comes to show that people still have enough money to spend. So I dont think depression is in our near future... I also feel that FED should not try to save stock market by decreasing rate because that could increase inflation....

well we can buy gold and save them, and it will actually make us money in the furture. am i right?
