"Recession Officially Ended June 2009" so what will rightwingers whine about now?

[sawyer]

I suppose these are the kind of excuses a lot of people would make when they can't admit they may have made a mistake.

The recession is far from over.

[mamadixie]

Still no jobs. The recession has ended, now we are in a depression.

Personally, I will wait for next years report when they tell us we went into a double dip recession in the Summer of 2010.

[Ellieln]

Oh noes, the deficit is down 8%.

[endo]

It's wild that people quote unemployment figures and say it's propoganda but don't know the criteria for the end of a recession. We have not recovered but it did end.

[Vicsieeeee]

Not bloody likely. Calling the current economic contraction a recession is like calling the Bubonic Plague a slight illness. We are clearly in the worst economy since the great depression. There is not much evidence on which to base a claim that the recession is over!!

When I heard this recently, it surprised me. In a good way, because now we won't need any more stimulus packages from the government.
