Welcome to the Recession

recession
noun
1. The state of the economy declines; a widespread decline in the GDP and employment and trade lasting from six months to a year

Ok, who here thinks we're in a recession, please raise your hand? Wow... ok, who here believes we're not in a recession? Hmm.... no one believes we're not? Oh, wait -- you in the back... who are you? Oh -- you're with the government. No wonder you don't think we are. Ok, so my question to you is, why is the government so unwilling to admit what everyone else already KNOWS? I mean, after all, one of the president's top economic advisers finally came out and said that "parts" of the country were showing signs of a recession... Come on! It's not like it's a 4-letter word that no one wants to utter. Stand up and tell people really how it is. Just get the gall to stand up and say "yes, all signs show that we are in fact in a recession. We are aware of the problems people and businesses are facing right now and we are working diligently with all of our economic advisers to find out the best course of action that will have the most positive effect for everyone. Please be patient and do not panic or worry. Things will work out in a way that's best for everybody."

There -- I wrote your line for you...now someone "grow a pair" get out there on television and tell the American people what we're all waiting to hear from our leaders. We all know it, but we just want to hear you say it.
