Highlights from an interview by Meredith Whitney currently on CNBC:

State economies are plunging, and are $200 billion underwater, will lead to 2 million in state-level layoffs leading to a low-end impact; raising taxes at state level will impact the top-end
Retail sales have been stronger only due to consumers not paying mortgages, retail sales have already topped as is
Q2 bank results will finally catch up with accelerated mortgage foreclosures; charge-offs and delinquencies in credit cards are better due to mortgage non-payment cash flow going to other obligations, and this will soon top as well
Structural employment issues in the US won't get better any time soon
