recession now? yep

WASHINGTON - The economy fell into recession late last year, according to a panel of economists that is responsible for determining the dates of business cycles. Monday's declaration by the panel of the National Bureau of Economic Research confirms what many private economists, lawmakers and members of the general public already have assumed and puts an official date on it: A U.S. recession began in December 2007. For those of you who were waiting for final confirmation; we have been in a recession since last December. Where are our contractor buddies to cheer us up and tell us how good THEY are going to do at the new gym? If we just had MORE Happy Talk, all this would disappear. Its obvious that Unhappy Talk about record rates of unemployment, forclosures, bankruptcies, and the like that have caused all this mess! Sure, it may be hard to find anything good to say when you have lost your job, home, life savings, and business but thats just because they arent trying! They are all just content to sit home and collect their unemployment checks!!! Lazy, shiftless bums...... all of them.. and probably all Democrats too... they just need PATIENCE!! as I am sure that some of the contractors wealth will trickle right down to them.... maybe... eventually ... perhaps.... soon..... any minute now....
