I guess the recession is officially over - BlazerFan11 - 10-29-2009 09:25 AM Funny how the MSM was quick to throw the R-word out there far before the textbook definition was met (consecutive quarters of negative growth), but are quick to use it to signal the end of the recession. Yep, no agenda there. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091029/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/us_economy RE: I guess the recession is officially over - SumOfAllFears - 10-29-2009 09:43 AM We wouldn't want that troublesome, annoying, harassing, bothersome, irksome, vexatious recession or high unemployment to get in the way of Obama's re-election campaign. RE: I guess the recession is officially over - claytonbigsby - 10-29-2009 09:44 AM It's the technically over, but doesn't mean that we can't go back into a recession. The first quarter recession started was january 2008.

Seems to me they outed themselves in the first sentence. Did this bother anyone else? RE: I guess the recession is officially over - GGniner - 10-29-2009 09:49 AM Unemployment numbers are more important and need to be emphasized, the Business Cycle will always do its thing. Just now its doing it with less workers and we turn into a Socialist European state. So yeah, the partisian media will treat this with a narrative like its the greatest economic news in the history of economics while ignoring Obama's Unemployment predictions combined with what has happened instead. Also what will be interesting is how the doomsday crowd spin the numbers, my guess is they will claim the gain is do to Inflation and thus not a real gain. Which there may be some truth too, though still lots of Deflationary signs out there too. You'd think they'd have a better understanding of the austrian business cycle applied than they do.

Not sure the Clunker Govt. Debt and first time home buyers Govt. Debt inflated it but so much, still likely a Postive number.

Exactly, that's when people make their year and we have the holiday season. If people are spending money for thanksgiving and xmas, 2010 could look better. I said back in 2007 that it would be June 2010 before the economy rebounded.

I think it's going to be ugly. Unemployment benefits running out. Unemployment rising. Credit cards raising rates. All means less shopping. We've almost finished ours from bargains throughout the year. We're probably a bit odd in that respect, but I think people all over are cutting back.
