Are we starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel?

I'm overly optimistic when it comes to stuff like economics and politics, so I'm inclide to agree with BushOK.

My only fear is that the light we may be seeing right now isn't hte end of the tunnel, but merely an oncoming train (don't ask me what the train symbolizes in the analogy - I have no clue - my point was merely that it's something bad).

The oncoming train is deflation.

But deflation wouldn't necessarily be a terribly bad thing if it happens slowly.  The U.S. could benefit from the reversal of some of our inflation; of course, if it happens too quickly, that's when  it's bad.

Ask the Japanese how well that went.

It wasn't gradual.  Like I said, unless it's slow (and I mean really slow), it's going to hurt.
