Talk about conflicting articles and views, I just saw an article that claims 2013 will be a year will amazing employment numbers.

Glass half full, half empty kind of world. Of maybe the media is schizophrenic?

Depends on whether you think the numbers will be amazingly good or amazingly bad, I suppose.

With the implementation of Obamacare & higher taxes for virtually everybody, I believe the economy can’t do more than limp along at its current rate. That’s the most optimistic outlook. Business will take a while to adjust to the ‘new normal’.

I’m pretty tired of the prognostications of a coming crash myself. If everything is being manipulated, they will continue to do so. Japan has been at zero interest for a couple of decades, haven’t they? This could go on for years.

I'm no prognosticator, but the third option is likely--neither boom nor crash but that we will continue to limp along as we have been. An axiom of economic analysis is that a trend once established, commonly runs far longer than expected. The status quo is hard to shake.
