Not A Recession

[snousle]

Remember back in November when I posted an article about how a majority of Americans persistently believe that the economy is in or near recession when it isn't?

Well, Q1 of 2008 was not a recession.

Just thought I'd let you know.

It's as though people are 'playing recession' like children 'play house.'

Zing! Yeah, I think there's a lot of that going on.

I think things mostly suck on a morale level in the US; people blame it on the economy because it's a convenient target that seems related to their problems, but the real problem is alienation and disempowerment, rather than purely economic concerns.
