Will there be a continuation of the flow of investments into the US by foreigners, as before, giving US consumers a free card for the largest consumption per person in the world?
No doubt the US consumer will always play an important role ... but, come on - the rest of the world is saying a pretty big NO.
What will these mean for US consumers?
Will Houston start becoming "lighter"?
Is "lean and mean" the new ideal again?
I personally can't see how US consumption - created by castles-in-the-sky can continue as it has. This has been a bucket of ice-cold water in the face of sleeping populations around the world investing in the US. Not saying that investment is stopping - but investing in the increased consumption of the US population... I just don't think anyone are ready for that right now.
I guess that could mean a little higher prices, less wages etc.
Those slick new sneakers for little Timmy under the Christmas tree? Not happening IMO...
