The more we are plugged into CNN or MSNBC, the more we are going to hear the mind numbing word, “RECESSION”.   My suggestion to you is to arrive at your own conclusions, and ultimately decide what is in your best interest.  It is very possible that hearing these messages over and over can actually help to ultimately lead us into a recession.  There is no doubt that the US economy is going through some very serious shifts – the failing auto industry that was not listening to the trends; the failing housing market that was due to shift; the imploding finance industry due to their far over extending themselves.  All of these events have occurred due to mismanagement.  Nothing magical has happened other than errors in judgement.  So, I offer you to turn off CNN or MSNBC for a while and tune into some more uplifting stations; and make up your own mind on how you are going to face this economic cycle we are presently experiencing.
