"Today, everybody agrees that the recession is over."
-- White House economic adviser Larry Summers, 12/13/09

"Of course not."
-- White House economic adviser Christina Romer, asked if the recession is over, 12/13/09

Heh. There's nothing like a unified message going out! I'd love to know what Summers was thinking when he said that.

He was telling us what his overlords on Wall Street were saying - they want us to believe the recession's over so that those pesky regulations and angry people dry up or can be ignored.

Happy Birthday, by the way.

Hmmm.. I'm going on 6.5 months of unemployment now. The recession isn't over for me yet.

I guess that equals (everybody - 1).
