Columbus Metropolitan Club - Annual Blue Chip Economic Forecast January 9, 2008
Bhutto's tragic assassination in Pakistan December 27 sent the market plunging to end the year with an unexpected economic and political shocker. The volatility of the Middle East environment will reverberate through the world, the U.S. and even the local economy for months to come.
The 2008 presidential candidates' campaigns are bloated with topics for debate, setting the stage for a season ripe for parlaying for prime primary positions. The economy will provide fodder for countless stump speeches.
Always important, perhaps the forecast for the 2008 economy weighs heavier on our minds and gasoline-drained pocketbooks than in other years.
Dr. Bill LaFayette tells it like it is and like he thinks it's going to be! Dr. Bill always seasons his forecasts with satire and his personal sense of fun to make even the driest and direst predictions palatable and sunny forecasts downright gourmet!
Mandeville, Mokrzan and Newton join LaFayette on the CMC stage for rebuttal and discussion.
