Versions of CHANGE...............from Rico

Just like there are different versions of the truth, and Jimmy Buffet looks at love 'from a different point of view' here are some versions of "change" under different scenarios...different degrees of "change" (all of them negative change, ranging from bad to worse and all disastrous).

Bear in mind that 'optimistically' the US GDP is limping along at roughly +1%, so even the mildest scenario depicted here (say a <.5%>) is extremely bad news.

Here is a handy-dandy degarbler of Fed-speak/FTV-speak/Congress-speak (read: bullshit) as the US meanders towards the fiscal cliff.

Boy howdy! That whole CHANGE thing just isn't working out as expected, is it?
