If we're in/going into a recession, how bad will it get?

    Sorry, that won't fly.

    Under the Hillary Rules, she's entitled to half the credit for all the good things Bill did, but none of the blame for things that went poorly.

    Bill Clinton did something good? I must have been Asleep At The Wheel.

    According to the WSJ, we're there.

    And most economists think it will be worse than 1990-91.

    Jagged rock peaks. Toxic atmosphere. 300 degree temperatures in the light. Subzero temperatures in the dark. Pretty much the worst conditions imaginable.

    What does Arizona have to do with this? :)

    Okay, so the scariest environment imaginable. Thanks. That's all you gotta say, scariest environment imaginable.
     
  7. Do you honestly believe that the media's been operating under those rules?
    Really?

    And let's add food prices to the list of shit that's fucked up.

    Flour is going through the roof and I've heard pizza shops are stockpiling as much as they can now because they expect the price to be out of control in a few months.

    Here's a good story on it

    And don't forget about the colony collapse disorder affecting our nation's beekeepers. That could have a significant impact on the price of fruit.

    They're paying our nation's farmers not to grow pizza!

    If memory serves - and it no longer much does - be prepared for rising prices, lots of juggling of household checkbooks and credit cards, diminishing job opportunities (even compared to the barren landscape we see in this business already), and a pervasive sense of anger and melancholy. I'm about the same age as In Exile, so have weathered the same recessive economies. When it's bad, it's bad.
     
  10. Let's not forget how much fun it was to wait in line at the gas pumps.

    Maybe the "Roadrunner slingshot thrust" maneuver can pull us out of it.
