Yeah..they say we may be in for "another" recession.
Like we really came out of the last one ? More like the government money dried up.
Actually, I get a kick out of hearing people talk about a double dip recession when it is obvious that we are still in the first one. However, Obama did declare the first one over, didn't he?

Yup..all that government money propped up the GDP which is the "official" indicator of a recession ending.
So since 2009 we have been in an economic recovery. Didn't the last 2 years feel good ?
To me, things seem worse than 2 years ago. In the spring of 2009 I had no qualms about buying a 52" TV with BD player, a high-end laptop and some other toys. Today I cringe at paying $25 for a stack of Sony DVD's, and think twice about going out to eat even when I have a BOGO coupon for my favorite restaurant.
Back then I assumed we would bounce back quickly. The possibility of people being unemployed for one year seemed remote, much less 2 or 3.
The interesting thing is that I've found that I can live comfortably on far less than I thought I needed. Except for health insurance of course - the skyrocketing premiums since obamacare passed are killing me...
Guess the fact we are Trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions and trillions and many more trillions of dollars in debt has me a little nervous as our government is spending money like a bunch of drunk sailors.

As the joke goes, that's an insult to drunk sailors. Drunk sailors only blow the money they have in their pockets, they don't borrow another $trillion from China to blow.
