Please provide empirical data that points to the economy being in recession and not some analyst's opinion. 1.Did you see Whitehouse and Congress has an economic stimulus package for 1% GDP? That will add at least 0.5 point to this quarters GDP itself ? 2.Did you see that Feds cut 3/4 points of both Fed and discount rates? That is a massive amount of liquidity injected into our economy. 3. Did you notice your outlook is still doom and gloom and you are bringing down the temple on your ass?
