    I don’t know that this is the best indicator that we’re in a recession, so much as it’s an indicator that we’re thinking about recession. And it’s impossible not to think about one when every third word in the media is “recession.”

    The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.

    While my gut tells me we are in the beginnings of a recession, you have to wonder how much of it is self prophecy caused by our own reaction.
