What will the economy do?

Reasons for optimism		Reasons for pessimism

Steady rise in income, including from employment compensation Some drop in the unemployment rate		Continued high weekly unemployment claims Continued drop in the number of jobs / people employed Expiration of government stimulus (Premature?) contraction of the Fed balance sheet Sovereign credit issues in Europe Production has caught up with final sales; recent inventory investment likely to run out

I expect to continue to edit this over the course of the first week of July. Suggestions for addenda are welcome.
