Paul Krugman predicts a Greek exit from the Euro within months ('very possibly next month'), and possibly, the end of the Euro.

Wulfenstar states: "I am sure that if Zimmerman is declared not-guilty, large groups of urban youths will release their frustrations at 400 years of oppression on us all".
He goes on to suggest that as a result of this 'vengeance' people will be forced to defend "themselves, their families, their homes and their businesses."

Unfortunately, I made my prediction a long time ago in a galaxy far away, so y'all will either have to trust me on this one, or those who remember what I wrote (if anyone does) will have to back up my claim, 'cause I really doubt I could find that thread again.
About a year and a half ago, we were discussing the best response to get the economy going again. republicans keep pressing for reduced taxes, reduced government spending and reduced deficit. And I said that if that were to happen, we would fall into a double-dip recession. And I was right. What I DIDN'T predict was that austerity would be implemented in Europe, not here. Nonetheless, austerity is causing a double-dip recession in Europe, and since all things are interconnected in today's world, I expect it will eventually get here too. It would be awfully instructive if the GOP decides to lean into it just as we start to keel over. I hope Romney is in office about then. Or as (former Mexican President) Calderon infamously said in a national address Yesterday, we were at the edge of a precipice. Today, we have taken a great step forward.

Jongstraw believes (outside of chemically induced highs) that Obama will win in November, due to the fact that 'More than half the country gets a Govt. check'.
Hero believes if Zimmerman is convicted the case will likely be overturned on appeal.
