I agree with MeAmerican on this one. The talking heads on tv started trying to push us into a recession several years ago, and I predicted back then that if they kept saying it long enough, people would start to believe it. Amazing what the power of the msm can do. Brainwashing at it’s best. I don’t participate in the shaping of a recession. If everybody thought that way, this country would be in much better shape.

There are a lot of signs that we have bottomed out and may start to turn around by the end of the year. Unfortunately, almost every other aspect of the economy will have to normalize, before we see any significant improvement with the employment numbers.

What concerns me more than anything else is the potential for inflation numbers the likes of which we have not seen since the Carter years. Nothing will wipe out savings and income like runaway inflation.

Dealing with it by not buying into the scare tactics. Same as this swine flu thing. It’s all a scam!! This administration is trying to make people believe that they can’t get along without govt. intervention. They are the problem not the solution. Therefore for those who do buy into it, you deserve what you get!
