First, we have had recessions and worse in the past and we always come out stronger when you let the markets correct. Second, we are NOT in a recession. A recession is not gaged by gut feelings, it is a measurable event- specifically, two consecutive quarters of negative GDP, we have yet to even have one quarter of this to start the trend.

You’re right - we’re seeing stagflation.

Bush is the new Carter.
