The market will stagger along for a good while yet, but no mighty crash. That is still my view.

So if only the WESTERN world is doomed, then why don't we all move to Asia, thereby avoiding the doom?

Because contrary to popular belief they (the majority of ChIndia) are already there as in LOVING to work for a few bucks a day.

Coming soon to the WEST.

You know workers fought for years for decent pay and conditions now we are getting dragged down to the lowest common denominator.

I dunno Manitoba(well mostly winnipeg) is still riding high, and desperately searching for tradesmen to help us to continue to grow. Not everyone is going to suffer equally.

I thought it was to redistribute wealth from the rich from the poor.
