Let's not pussyfoot around this thing any longer.Recession.
There's a lot of bullshit debate in the media right now about whether we're in a recession or not, or when this "slowdown" officially becomes a recession. It's all bullshit. It's like looking up at a cloudy sky and having "serious debate" on whether it's going to rain or not. Recession has a precise technical definition and it either "is" or "isn't". And for the time being, we can't know.
The only real question is what to do about the situation we're in now. How can we make this situation as painless as possible, for all involved? As patriotic consumers, it is our responsibility to soften this economy's fall however we can.
Here are some basic steps we can all take to improve our financial futures:
- Buy a TV. With consumer confidence falling, consumer electronics stores are falling on some hard times. Buy now to take advantage of discounts and rebates. You get a TV, they sell a TV: everybody's happy.
- Buy a car. The car companies are feeling the squeeze too. And again, with special deals out there, buying a new car is win-win.
- Buy a house. Housing prices always go up. There is absolutely no exception to this rule.
