we arent in a recession, we are in a stagnant economy. Recession comes from the root word recede which means to fall back or lose ground. 1st quarter shows the GDP was up .6%.

I also think we are on the way to a recession but we arent there yet. Its a natural economic cycle and its also something that happens at just about every election, especially a tightly contested one like this one is. Foreign investors pull some of their capital out of our economy and the average US citizen does the same.
