People don't act like there is a recession because they are being told not to... Right now the government is hoping that spending will spend us out of the recession. If it doesn't, we will be deeper then ever and we will be really fucked. It is a gamble. Most people have no idea about the world economy. I have friends and family that were laid off and cannot find a job paying enough to support their families. I have older friends that were forced into early retirement.
If this gamble does not pay off we will have a very hard next two years.... But hey, on the bright side, if the Mayans were correct, we might not have anything after that two years so if you think about it, at least you got your two years!
