I am still wondering if anyone is willing to make a hard and fast prediction that the economy will collapse into a quivering mass of protoplasm--- along with a general time frame for this to happen.

As I recall, at least one intrepid poster was willing to predict that the bail out would not work and would be seen to fall apart around the first of the year.

Any predictions?
