I was watching the news tonight and they were discussing the 'possibility' that we're in a recession. They mentioned that capital hill had a different name for it "economic slowdown". Perhaps the reasoning for it was to keep from speaking incorrectly? Hah.
If not, call it what it is. A recession. It would be nice if people stopped trying to be 'cunning linguists' and just treated us as we should be treated. I think I can speak for us all when I say "we're tired of it".
They also mentioned that they needed to "encourage consumer confidence"! My answer to them? My favorite finger in the world and these words "I'm confident I need to save.". If we feel we need to be economically cautious because we need to budget accordingly for gas thats $4 a gallon and other expensive necessities, perhaps they should spend their time advising the government and business what they can do to help us out of this crap and into a time of economic comfort? I mean, all I have seen in recent years is inflation. Sure, here and there we get a break but over all, all prices have not really been on a decline.
Last I checked, it wasn't my fault I couldn't afford to buy real estate, invest in the stock market or buy a new car. How about you?
