Granted it's nothign concrete (but what is before the fact) but I've seen the same sort of indiciators floating around most of the other think tanks as well. It's certainly long past due, and while it may not happen this year, I'd be more surprised if it didn't than did.

Can you guys take the political commentary somewhere else please? The topic is about dogs.
Once they are secure again in their jobs etc, and know that Primary Needs (Food, Clothes, Shelter etc) are going to be taken care of for the next xx months, they will again start to buy luxury, or Secondary Items.
I think reduced spending is simply a consequence of a depressed economy
The reason for that (I think) is that the need for houses hasn't diminished any, and quite frankly, I don't think that need is going to diminish any in the US either.
The US still possesses the largest amount of WMDs on earth.Yes, but unlike what you said about the Russians, our stockpiles are monitored, and constantly kept up to date and safe.
Terrorist dirty bombs are pretty much a non-issue as well (that's why N.E.S.T exists).I wouldn't be so sure. A few well placed large munition (5,000lb+) bombs placed strategically around a city like New York or Chicago with some radioactive sand could be quite devastating to local populations. Even moreso if the radioactive material gets caught in wind patterns and drifts cross country. Hitler actually had a plan during WWII which involved air bursting a large warhead on top of a missile filled with radioactive sand over New York. It's that kind of attack that wouldn't be instantly devastating, but would probably inflict the same kind of damage over the centuries that Little Boy and Fat Man did to the Japanese.
