1. Crisis not over yet financially or politically
2. Generational inequality: America rescued borrowers and lenders, but stuck younger people with zero return on investment (ROI) and very high prices for housing.
3. Likelihood of more aggressive use of government
4. Boom fanaticism, X doing badly in economics, Millennial generation going nowhere
5. Likely more authoritarian government (Trump/Sanders)
6. Market-driven libertarians have lost.
7. Expect more volatility in markets.
8. Look to Millennial trends in business, housing, personal spending -- good growth areas
I'd like to think there will be a push back if the trend goes much further towards aggressive / authoritarian. The question might be how to break government of, for and by the wealthy without some sort of forceful push? The problem is getting the focus and thrust of the crisis targeting the capitalists rather than aiding and abetting them.
Otherwise, can't argue too much.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
