tax cuts’ are creating bullish bubbles: Low interest rates and budget
deficits- Friday
March 25, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : A towering catastrophy is not something built

no longer hold together what is essentially an unstable structure. The United States

tax cuts for the wealthy and a growing massive trade deficit are compounding to produce
inherent instability that when it collapses will devastate the world economy.
