According to experts at the National Bureau of Economic Research, the recession is over!!! In fact, the recession ended in June of 2009.
First of all bro, why did you wait so long to tell us? Here I was acting like a man who needed to count his pennies (Yes, I pay for everything in pennies), while I could have been out racking up more credit card bills that I can't pay, and refinancing my moonbounce (send me a PM if you want to rent my moonbounce for business or pleasure).
Also, how do I explain that the recession is over to the millions of people who have lost their homes and jobs after June 2009? How do those people fit into your statistics and algorithms?
Where do you guys and gals from the National Bureau of Economic Research live? Lichtenstein? Monaco? Definitely not the USA.
Well, if the recession is officially over, then I guess it's time to celebrate. Everyone on Open Salon is invited over to my one bedroom apartment for an "End of Recession" party. I sold the good silverware and china so we will have to use plastic utensils and paper plates. The refrigerator is bare except for some AA batteries which we all can share. My eight track player is locked and loaded with my Best of Milli Vanilli.
RSVP to Little Willie ASAP

"How do those people fit into your statistics and algorithms?"
We don't. We're just lazy!! Teeheehee!!! Someone might want to tell the Census Bureau we're out of a recession, they think there's an increase in poor people....
