Will There be 90s Prosperity Later on in This Decade? (Ron Paul, employment)

[knowledgeiskey]

Will there be an economic boom in this decade like the 90s when consumer confidence was up, stock market was strong, employment was high, and everybody was happy?

No. Try double-dip.

Nope! Sadly, I think America's best years are behind us.

After a long recession, there is always a boom. I'm not sure when it will come, but it will come.

With a strong progressive president and congress absolutely.

Only if Ron Paul makes it to the big house in DC.

In the 90's I was paying 80 cents per gallon for gas... it is 3.50 a gallon now... let me know when the government stops overspending so that inflation didn't do a 4X on everything... the only time anyone is going to do well is when the government stops overspending... time to reduce the size of the government...

In the 90's we didn't have a strong progressive president and congress.

No, we are in the early stage of a demographic slowdown. Worse than 68-82 but hopefully not as bad as the 30's.
