I believe that we are heading into a recession, but the questions are:

1.  What kind of recession?  Mild or severe?  Just the USA or
dragging down the rest of the world?  What may be the trigger?  When
will it come?

2.  Will Americans be really more receptive of left ideas in the
event of recession?  If so, which kind of left ideas?  Given the main
currents of Seattle & like movements as well as the Nader/Green
campaign, is the likely winner -- *if* left-wing ideas gain more
currency at all -- a protectionist America-First politics in the name
of "social-clause, fair-trade" high-mindedness, with or without more
China bashing?
