The final effects of the subprime have not occurred yet. There will be more ARMs re-adjusting upward in 2008. Higher gas prices, if they stay high and/or increase will eat into disposable income that could be used to: 1) pay off consumer debts, and 2) buy things.
I think the next 2 years will be the window of time to see what, if anything, happens.
