For example, I thought we were going to have a housing crash in 2005. It didn't come for a few years later.
With the current economy, I see it as another house of cards based on the government handing out free money and the Fed printing like crazy and keeping rates artificially low for so long.
But, I imagine they will do a lot more kicking the can down the road before anything really changes. If inflation numbers get too high, they will probably just change how they calculate them again.
