I did not disagree with you jeff. I know the definition of a recession. I looked it up quickly before my previous post.

I simply stated that their are more people affected by the current economy than some seem to believe. I even gave many examples. Just because you are not directly affected by it... you are indirectly affected by it in some way.

I just venture to guess that people are indeed not spending monies hand over fist... which was earlier implied.
