American sub prime loan crisis growing worse. Millions to be unemployed as troops return from Iraq next year by order of new president. Crime also grows as dollar value shrinks and US stays in recession through 2010. Many large companies will no longer exist soon, like Yahoo! Invest carefully. On the upside, there are plenty of cheap houses available for people to move into, and tech jobs will come back first.
