Where do some of California's most renowned and straight-talking economists think local, state, and national economies are headed in 2009?

The Inland Empire: Ground zero in California's housing bust and recording massive numbers of foreclosures...

• Any sign of a bottom? When will builders see new demand?
• Are woes in the residential housing market spilling over into the retail and office sectors?.
• How will local government handle revenue shortages?

The State: California hit harder than the nation as a whole...

• Do the harder hits imply a quicker recovery?
• Will the Federal housing bill do anything to stabilize California's residential markets?

The Nation: Recovery, continued doldrums, or worse yet to come...

• Wall Street wreckage: what does it mean for the broader economy?
• Is the inflation boogie man really about to jump out of the closet?
