HappyUP!!! We've Been in a Recession


"Speaking of the slowdown, it's official: We're in a recession. And have been for a year. The National Bureau of Economic Research officially declared today that the U.S. economy slipped into recession in December 2007. "

I clipped the above - from a website today.

"What's so HappyUP!!!ish about that news? - hey, we all knew that we were in one or heading into one. It's good to know that we already have a year behind us.

Recessions can last awhile - I am absolutely GIDDY that we alreay have 12 months in the rear view mirror.

....and, of course - the sarcastic side of me (that I have been trying to suppress over the years) can't let the opportunity go by to say........Duh! Thanks for the newsflash!

In a recession, it isn't always bad. Most people don't realize how much money there is out there. During economic times like this, there is more money to be had than ever. Because of the bailouts and economy, lenders are bending over backwards to bail you out too. Believe it or not, there is people getting tons of cheap money nowdays to start businesses, buy homes, pay off debt, and more. Recession Bailouts for YOU
