Avalon Spouter RE: Recession. I agree with you completely. It seems the party in charge is more concerned with chances in the upcoming elections than they are about sound fiscal policy and the many issues that currently plague our country. Rates should have been raised slowly the minute inflation started to rise, stop policies of printing endless dollars, and foolishly dumping money on the populace, who already had too much money chasing too few goods. They have created a disaster and recession will be the end result. Dems seem to lack the ability to manage money and we now see the results.
