danerd100 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Just curious on what your opinion is on the recession in the US economy, and ideas on how to stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark4181 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 What recession? The economy is still growing, just at a slower rate than usual. My opinion is that the economy is slowing due to speculation.

Paranoid Marvin Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I agree with the post above. Speculation is what will kill the economy. For example, over here, people speculated about Northern Rock, causing the first bank run for 100 years and the government to nationalise the bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killbot1000 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Whether we like to admit it or not, our economy steps on the back of the middle class and the poor. Both of these two groups buy a lot of $hit. When they are having trouble finding a job, or they have to take a job at minimum wage to feed their family, etc. This could ALSO slow the economy as well. Business people are sometimes so short sided. What they really don't realize is that its in all of their best interests to pay workers as much as they can, because what you will have is a bunch of people with high salaries going out to eat more, buying more ipods, going on more trips, etc. It also doesn't help the economy when the economic policies of recent years in the US have revolved around helping people who are already rich out the ass.

(MoC) Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I think inflation is one of our largest worries in the US economy. Prices are rising and the value of the dollar went down extremely. This is not good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marliwahoo Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 From dictionary.com: Recession - An extended decline in general business activity, typically two consecutive quarters of falling real gross national product. We have not had ONE quarter of falling gross national product. By definition we are NOT in a recession. You however, can define recession any way you choose and you can be completely convinced you are right. You would just be wrong. I also find it interesting the the people calling names here don't even know what a recession is. "The trouble with our liberal friends, is not that they are ignorant...it's just they know so much that isn't so" - Ronald Reagan Oh - why do I bother - no one here listens to anyone. I'm avoiding the "real life" forum from now on. It's full of arrogant people who never consider other people's points of view with any respect. The name callers here are not worth the time to share opinions and discuss issues. See you in the other forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxintosh Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Most are worried about a prospect of a recession. Some parts of the country are a LOT worse than others. It's only a matter of time before the truth comes out and we learn just how bad it really is, regardless of how the republicans try to paint a rosy picture.
