These days there’s still no escaping ongoing, often dire, economic projections, most notably those related to the “Fiscal Cliff” divers in Washington. Well, here’s another opinion. This one by the contrarians at Motley Fool, the multi-media financial services company that also offers stock analyses on its (free) web site. Maybe you get what you (don’t) pay for. Anyway, MF is predicting that over the next five years the American economy will be “markedly better” than the last five. That’s because of:
* A rebound in housing construction.
* A rise in domestic energy production.
* The end of consumer debt deleveraging–resulting in increased household-spending flexibility.
