It does depend on a great deal on the Fed. The Fed started cutting rates reasonably early in the downturn, but not aggressive enough now.
The Wall Street economists are now predicting very aggressive rate cutting going forward, but we haven't seen it yet. If it doesn't happen real soon we are in trouble. But if it does, it may not be too bad.
The other answerers have plenty of bad news to talk about, but there is some good news for stocks. Interest rates are very low. Inflation hasn't gotten bad (yet). Many non-US economies are still very strong & importing lots from the US. |

This one depends on two things - the US governments willingness to end the slide (depreciation) of the dollar, and the Fed's decision on reversing Greenspan's Housing Bubble burst. I expect a half point cut in 2 weeks, followed by 4 more quarter point cuts. By voting time, the economy will be picking up... |

This will be much worse. I agree that we will be in this for some time. Typically, it takes 18 months to get through the difficult period. But when did that begin?? Arguably, we have been "sick" if not in a recession since June of '06... that said, we could be coming out of any time soon. But I don't think that is the case... we still have difficult times ahead as people lose jobs created during the economic stimulus of 2001. The capital markets are in bad shape with no signs of recovery. Our banks are in bad shape... some will likely fail. We still haven't seen the worst of real estate prices. And consumption has yet to be impacted by the slowdown. Thus, I think that this could take a long time. Considering we are probably 18 months into this, I can see it taking another 24 months... quite a long recovery in total. Hopefully the election and another stimulus package will turn things around. What isn't yet clear is what new strong businesses were created as a result of the prior stimulus package that might sustain the current downturn. Many jobs created will go away, such as those in real estate and real estate finance. But perhaps we will create a sufficient number of Googles and the like... inventions such as the IPOD and IPhone and other great advances that will carry the economy to greater heights soon. |

The 2000 recession was because of over optimism in the tech market.
What we're looking at now is worse.It involves housing.
Too many people took out loans that they knew they couldn't afford.
Too many lenders extended credit that they knew they shouldn't have.
The problem now is that the Fed wants Uncle Sam to give our tax dollars to fix a mess that was caused largely by irresponsibility on the part of borrowers and lenders.
The lenders were greedy.Now us taxpayers are suppossed to bail everyone out.
Some of us , myself included , saw something wrong with the lending practices of the past few years , and stayed away.
But now we're suppossed to accept this latest waste of tax dollars.Why should I pay for these peoples homes? I knew well enough to save my money , and not sign for a loan that I was "qualified" for , but they would give me anyways.
Now these people are screaming for help , and who's going to save them? The American tax-payer , that's who!
I wish I could get a home loan on Uncle Sams dime!
Yes! We ARE headed for a recession. Homes are being foreclosed , and no one can qualify for mortgages now.
But the qualifications are no different than what they SHOULD have been!
It's harder to get ANY kind of loan now that lenders are losing money.That means fewer car loans , fewer personal loans , fewer credit cards being issued.
That means less money flowing into the economy.That equals less tax dollars rolling in , and you better believe that when Uncle Sam ain't gettin' paid we ALL feel the squeeze!
"So-called-recession"? No. We're headed for a REAL recession. Look at the stock market! It's dropped like a brick!
But it ain't all bad news.Regular investors (like myself) know that everything is on-sale right now , and will be for a while! |

more worse.
a long long long time.
usa sure effed themselves big time.
considering the huge debt they're pilling up, and the taxation is low, unemployment rate is rising and canada does not trade with them as much as they use to (now that we trade with other countries), thus lesser federal gov't revenues and more problems in the near future, especially that they still need to invest into education, law, and roads/construction and welfare... otherwise, usa will be a poor poor nobody =
it won't go back into prosperity for a long while, but it'll go back into a neutral state after many years, that's near recession and at a percentage rate of -1% - 2% .... >_>;
considering that it doesn't have universal health care, it'll create a heck lot more problems when it comes to people's mentality and physiology.
i mean, my texas friend's parents are technician and a nurse, my two parents who works in a factory and a little store earns more money than those two. what's the problem here? >=
oh, it'll affect us too, just not as much. |

2000 - 2002 was not a recession. It had very strong housing market growth. The change then was that money was moving from stocks to houses. And, in corporations, employment was moving from onshore to offshore due to tax advantages. There were job losses. But, overall, the economy was still growing.
This is different. There is no visible growth in the US. Gold has now surpassed $900 per ounce. This is a record. It means the US dollar hasn't much value. And, as we lower interest rates, we're making it even worse. Then, printing money to bail out banks, that again makes it worse. A tax cut, to save this, won't do anything. Bring strength back to the dollar. This means making wise investments. It means stopping the endless cash flow into a useless war. It means paying down debt. It means raising taxes and lowering expenses. This will create value for the dollar. Change the tax laws so it doesn't favor offshoring.... this will bring jobs back to the US. Use tarriffs (tax to foreign countries) to balance wage variances. Common sense. |
