I would like to take a moment to guage the sentiment of the RR community regarding current economic conditions.
1) I do not expect to experience any negative impact related to the economy for the next 4 years.
2) I expect a moderate economic downturn, but the U.S. and global economy will recover near term, similar to downturns in the last decade. I am not that concerned.
3) I am rather concerned about the economy. I expect a series of events leading up to some rather uncomfortable times, similar to downturns over the last few decades lasting a few years.
4) I anticipate events that may reduce our standard of living and comfort level to the Great Depression era. I expect this to impact my daily living quite severely.
5) I believe we are about to experience an unprecedented series of events stemming from the systematic collapse of the U.S. and/or global economic structure that retains the capacity to usher in extreme chaos in a very uncomfortably unpredictable way.
6) Other - feel free to explain -
The last poll was on 1/25/2008 - about 4 months ago.

I currently place at about a 4.6. I previously ranked myself as a 4.5. I have been researching this hours each week since 8/2008.
Thanks for participating.
NOTE: there are apparently two #5's in the poll, the second is intended to be a # 6. Please vote as such. If a mod can correct this, then please and thank you.
