They are not my sources.....just some economists that say there is no recession.

I think they're full of shit.

There is far more than two....I was just making a point with two.

yeah but that list of 200+ is still 200+.


Detailed predictions are hard, but general predictions are easy.

A weatherman isn't always correct on the details, and the farther into the future the less accurate, but still in a general way they can actually predict the weather.
If 200+ weathermen agreed that a tornado was bearing down on your home it might be worth listening.

And regardless of what the weatherman says, if you stick your head out the window, and it comes back wet? It's raining.

But if those same weathermen told me it was raining cats and dogs I would know it wasn't true.

They do. It's the secret door in the penthouse suite. But I don't think they are throwing the same bones you are thinking of.

People need to wake up. They think if they vote for the right candidate, all of their problems will be solved. On your own property: There are no taxes on food you grow yourself. There are no taxes on water you collect from streams, or funnel from rain-showers. There are no taxes on trees you cut down, which you can construct into shelter. There are no taxes on cotton you grow, for spindling into clothing.

This is a free country. Pretty much, if you can think it, you can do it. Government here does not have much authority, and if it ever does, every true American will literally kill government. This is a country of liberty (for the mentally challenged, liberty is the opposite of authority).

It is incredible how people have become slaves of the system. Almost the exact opposite of what the country is supposed to be. How can you be free and independent if you rely on government? You have no choice but to rely on the Universe... but you do not have to rely on government. What's worse, your reliance on government is exploited by government.

I find it difficult imagining how things got so bad here. Our founders would be appalled by modern American society.

Recessions are far worse than anything we have seen yet. This is a simple down turn from an over inflated economy. Housing cost rose to incredible heights way out of proportion compared to cost of labor and materials. Credit card debt is at an all time high which points to reckless spending by people driving a false spending record that eventually had to catch up.
