...longer in the free fall of a few months ago, other parts of the economy are still in sharp decline. To quote Shepherdson again: "The epicenter of the recession has shifted from the consumer to the corporate sector." And it's possible that corporate cutbacks could lead to a relapse among consumers. "The main downside risk probably lies in sharper-than-expected multiplier effects via the dramatic deterioration in the labor market," warned Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius on Monday after predicting that consumer spending would rise for the rest of the year.

...After behind the scenes conversations about the aggressiveness of the U.S. approach, the views of a number of American allies are now crystal clear - America is spending itself into a hole which it cannot get out of, and the nation is on a course which will eventually lead to socialism.

This month's ban on Mexican truckers operating in U.S. territory quickly led to Mexico's imposing retaliatory tariffs on a wide range of American products. The speed with which the two governments have been willing to sacrifice free trade for a political spat has politicians and business lobbies south of the border increasingly worried about how well the fragile Mexican economy can survive the fracas...
