An excellent link to "are we in a recession or not?"

GDP: So are we in a recession, or not? - CNN

I've lived through too many recessions to remember them all. I waited in line for gas in the 70's. I lived through the Nixon-Carter inflation and the Reagan cure.

But I have never seen empty shelves at Wal-Mart or a baby formula shortage. I have never seen 100% inflation at the grocery store while the gooberment told me is was 8%. I have never see a foreign invasion of 2,000,000 aliens a year. I have never seen my country print 5 trillion dollars to pay people not to work.

There is no doubt that it's "different this time". But we've seen this, too, and it's got nothing to do with that stupid fake pandemic that only killed the same people who already had one foot in the grave.

This is what it looks like when a country comes unglued. We watched in happen to the Soviet Union 30 years ago, for the exact same reasons -- government lies and corruption.

Recession. The situation is beyond awful and reprehensible.
