And words will hurt the economy…
Let’s talk for a minute about the recession… NO, LET’S NOT! That’s because all this talk of the economics could be damaging to your health!!! (Financial health, that is…)
The crack team at USDemocrazy has noticed that any time an Obama adminstration official starts to talk economics… the stock market screams, runs and hides!
Now the brainiacs at the New York Times have started to wonder if all this talk of America launching into a depression is going to, well, launch America into a depression. Same with the folks at New York Magazine who have dubbed the US economy’s weakened state “The Greatest Depression.” Newsweek is fielding questions on whether or not we are in a depression, and Google yields 68.5 million hits when you type in “Are we in a depression?”
There’s an old saying that goes, the economy is in recession when your neighbor loses his job, but there’s a depression on when you lose your job. Well, maybe if we all hush up about this lousy depression, maybe the economy will just stay in a lousy recession instead.
Okay… maybe this isn’t a good strategy. We at USDemocrazy think it is important to discuss issues like recessions and depressions… (But please don’t blame us if the market starts to fall!)
