I have to agree with you whole-heartedly. I cannot believe that the sensationalist media and its continuing push to make this economy really in a recession. Yes, joblessness is up. Yes, credit is getting harder to come by. I don't think you can honestly find 8 out of 10 people that have been affected enough by this past year or two to honestly say their spending habits is one of someone in a recession. Restaurants are still full on the weekends; amusement parks are still busy with tourists. I just don't get it. Though this is coming from someone who still has a steady job and is not in financial problems due to the current state of the economy. edit: finishing thought.
