I explained the how/why we were NOT in a recession.
I outlined GDP, I outlined CPI, I told her of the % growth. I then asked her why anyone, including ECONOMIC MEDIA TALKING and TAPPING HEADS wanted there to be "a recession"... She said.. it's like a run on a bank, they want.
The doom and gloomers have been frightening the public with FALSE information, employers tighten their belts against hiring new employees - not because they can't -- but because they "fear". This freezes growth, it freezes cash, puts more people on the rolls for unemployment, etc.
As St. James in the New Testament has said: Many forest fires have been lit by the wagging of foolish tongues. (paraphrased).
And so it came to pass.
Darn that pesky lookout up in the Titanic’s crow’s nest! It’s all HIS fault!
LOL.
