Are we in a recession or not?
The president's top economic advisor says all's well, and Wal-Mart reports decent April sales. But a closer look at the data shows that the economy has been steadily slowing since January.
Andrew Leonard [2008-05-08]

  • Why do you want to hype up a recession so much anyways?

    Why do you want it to be a recession so badly? Because it makes Bush look bad? This country has gone through WAY worse times than an economy that is growing by only 0.6%. Look at the historical numbers, IT HAPPENS.

    Quit screaming all you chicken littles, and maybe people won't be so scared to actually go spend money.

    But I guess I'm forgetting this is an election year. Like the President can just magically make the economy better anyways.
