John Stewart did a bit

John Stewart did a bit revealing all of the smoke and mirrors about the recession... showing clips of all of the words used to describe how we are not in a recession. I'll have to go look at that again. 'Slow down' was just one of the terms used.

As someone in financial services I highly recommend to those commenting here and afraid to look at their 401K's etc. move it to an indexed annuity and put in on fixed interest for the first year. Peace of mind and no more losses. Much better than ignoring it away.

Wait, who says that?

Wait, who says that? Hopefully not anyone who's been to graduate school lately...

Just don't try to launder it. Wearing things more than once is so... petty urban haute bourgeois.

After the election this comes out. Only 50 days before Shrub leaves office. Well, you coulda fooled me! I think even the town drunk figured out we were in a resession about 6 months ago. Once again, Dijamo, you're right- it is breaking news .... for Shrub!

Amazing, isn't it - that it only took these 3,298 PhDs 12 months to figure out what we salt-of-the-Earth neophytes have known for two full trimesters!

And they say graduate school makes you a wiser, more rounded person!!

Rachel just went through the quotes from the White House--Bush, communications queen, Republican Congressman...
My personal take as far as learning that we are in a recession a year AFTER the fact is:

We will tell you within 12 months or so whether we have lost a significant portion of the West Coast due to the last earthquake.

We will give you the figures concerning the ninety percent drop in property values within the next two years.

We will promptly, within 9 or 10 months, whether you should boil your water before drinking it.

The two-front war combined

The two-front war combined with insurance speculation created a false growth for several years. In terms of real growth, measured in wealth generation and asset value, we have been receding since late 2000. Now that the mass insurance fraud has made off with trillions of imaginary dollars, the fig leaf is gone and we are all Shocked! that we are naked.

Tonight on marketplace, I heard there is a festive minority that believes that since all their scrimping and saving over the last few years has come to negative naught, that they'll just spend it when they gets it.

Might actually be a better attitude to bring up the economy.

Spend, spend, spend yer way out of Dijprassion.

Why not?
