Day of reckoning in the US glasshouse

There is a growing consensus: America is going into a marked slowdown, if not a downright recession. There will be a large gap between potential growth - usually estimated at 3 per cent to 4 per cent - and actual growth, meaning lost output of hundreds of billions of dollars.
