Latest studies revealed that American people are getting more and more confident in what relates to a turnaround during the upcoming year of 2009. This means that all the taxes and the consumption will finally get the normal values and that people will leave in peace of mind and with the usual budget limits as they always did before the current situation... Moreover, it seems that 90% of the people involved trust that the future will also bring a much better situation than what we were used to before facing the actual financial problems!
Personally, I don't think that we will be able to overcome all these problems as soon as many people predicted and expect but I am pretty sure that USA has more than enough power to overcome this situation and restore the financial stability that our country always had!
