Whether or not we are in a recession is only a small piece of the overall economic health of a nation. We are not in a recession. That is not to say that all is well from an economic point of view.
Hence my point that we are in a depression. A completely different animal.
Another recession? LMAO! We are heading right for one of the worst deflationary depressions the world has ever seen. We didn't catch an economic cold people.........we have STAGE IV economic cancer. Our economy is on life support and that life support is about to run out of power. There is NOTHING the government can do. The rich won't pony up the capital to create jobs and fund innovation, technology, and American workers. So where does that leave us? Our politicians have sold us out to the same people i.e. the bankers, corporatists, Wallstreet hacks that have been stealing our money and using it to make more money.............>>AND GUESS WHAT??????? It's all DEBT AND CREDIT in the form of worthless paper and computer entries! There has been hardly any REAL wealth created in the last 20-30 years in America. There has been so much capital flight OUT of this country it's scary. But the American public is too stupid and too busy playing with their Ipods and Tweeting about football and Dancing with the Stars to care or even notice. The silent majority has become the stupid and ignorant majority. And the icing on the cake is we keep voting the same two party retards into office. Bush, Obama, Clinton, they are ALL THE SAME! We had 8 years of a borderline lifetime screw up Governor from Texas........and we are about to elect another one? Or we will have another 4 years of a lame duck community organizer who would rather party like a rockstar with his baboon wife than get down to business and take his job seriously.

omigod.
Too funny, too sad and too true to have all in one post.
Pretty much the most concise description of US I think I have seen on here.
Probably have said most of that one time or another -- well, maybe except the baboon wife part . . .
But put all together like that -- We Are SO Screwed.
Well we can do a 4X on the minimum wage and print a bunch of money and just give it to everyone and we can start a national savings plan and we can tax the principle on debt. Nothing indeed.

I am not afraid of a bit of inflation. I'll take that any day over deflation. It is really scary what could be coming our way.
Yes, inflation is just what we need. It worked for Germany in the late 1910s and early 1920s. Maybe we can all heat our homes with U.S. currency just as the Germans did with the marks.
You would hope not, but the kid seems quite stuck on it.
We just have gotten to the point where we say -- umm, yeah, whatever.
