Lets just generalize it up a bit and call it an economic slowdown instead.

What examples have you noticed just in your day to day lives? Or have you seen anything on the other end of the spectrum, something encouraging?
I'm not seeing anything encouraging. In fact I see the next few years going down the road in a not very optimistic light. Further government meddling, intervention, and regulation don't bode well as far as looking ahead.

Prices of food and gas are rapidly increasing. That is largely due to government. Yet in a global economy some are arguing for more government intervention. That doesn't bode well for the United States.

Let's call a spade a spade. Warren Buffett is a big time liberal and will say anything he thinks will get a Democrat elected. His longtime bullshit story that his secretary pays more in taxes than he does stinks worse than Al Sharpton's bathroom after he has eaten refried beans on 110th Street. Buffet's secretary pays income taxes. She is an employee. Buffett pays capital gains taxes. He is an investor. The two are not the same, yet they make for propaganda fodder for the ignorant and unwashed masses.
