An event that triggers CDS's. Really is a "weapon of mass distruction", and there are a lot floating out there. Obviously this will be triggered by a serious event....so that's kind of cheating.
To keep it relevant to current events....markets exerting pressure on France/Italy/Spain would suck.
External market forces? A massive oil spill or a solar flare that knocks out our infrastructure.
So I should probably stick with the initial worry. Nothing else really concerns me at the moment.
Please do not say solar flare.

Without hiring, consumer spending will stay flat. WIthout consumer spending, hiring will stay flat. Bit of a dilemma, eh?
