word on the street is that big government is causing lots of college grads to be journeying to washington dc...
We've had big government since the 80s. Those arguments are furfies now, both sides of politics have huge governments and spend a lot.

Growth sectors - renewables will have to grow despite opposition from various parties. Security will grow and the middle class dissapears and we have a lot more poor/rich separation and crime rises making the rich scared. If you know how to make bullet proof limos you will make a killing.

Oh Oh! And other sectors to ensure the rich separate themselves from poor... real estate development, exclusive clubs/recreations, "How to sniff out poor people" guide books, private schools and politics that blame victims.

So the reports are saying that the greatest recession since the Great Depression is at or near it's end. So my question is, what do you think will be the growth industries when this recession is behind us?
Mainstream media loves to keep telling us the recession is near its end. I don't think a "major" economic turnaround is anywhere even remotely close to happening. Research some alternative new sources. There is plenty of information that suggests this is just the tip of the iceburg.

The 'recovery' is artificial. Print & pump that many dollars into the economy and it's got to make a difference, however, the difference it made was artificial. Watch for the next recession in 2011, and it's not going to be pretty.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I can't help but think Obama is setting us up for failure. Not trying to start an argument - time will tell, and prove me right or prove me wrong. I sure hope I'm wrong.

Sorry to go off topic - next industry - that's difficult to predict, but when we do recover, I'll say nano tech.
