2012 As 1937 Redux?

1937. In that year – the fifth of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency, the US economy had finally matched its size in 1929, the year the stock market bubble popped and the world cascaded into the Great Depression. (The US economy today still has a way to go before it claws back the losses since 2007, but that’s another story).

…almost certainly, a plunge back into recession early next year?
