I suppose his tweets count as talking us into a recession. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

True, the dumb libs can talk themselves into believing anything... but economic growth (or lack thereof) is a bit more objective because it can be measured. Or is it all FAKE NEWS?

Does 50% sound too high or too low? |

High. If you are going by SKU count not volume the grocery section alone will make 50% hard. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

About a month ago the media started trying to talk up a recession. Record low unemployment and all great but they started talking it up. If I did not know any better I would say they had a meeting on the next "Get Trump" play. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

The whole thing is ridiculous. You can't talk a recession into being any more than you can talk your way out of one. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I completely agree. If Bill Maher and Rachel Maddow insist that a recession will start next Tuesday, then Wall Street bond traders must follow their marching orders and do as told? Nonsense. |

Wait, am I the only one here who shops at Walmart? Groceries are a separate category. But manufactured goods-- clothing, shoes, toys, housewares, kitchen wares, bedding, electronics. Most of that stuff at Walmart is from China. |
