Roubini said this recession is in the pipeline, even if the Fed pauses or even eases this month. If you look at GDP growth right before the last recession, we are copying those same numbers so far. This time we have rising inflation, and last time we didn’t. Once upon a time, we Americans could grit and bear a recession just like we handled a good workout: you drip with sweat and you want to stop but you go on and on and use your hardest willpower despite the pain… that’s what we need now economically. We’ve become too pampered, living off other people’s work, sending out IOUs while the “slaves” build us goods. We Americans need to get back to the ethics of our founding fathers and pioneers, who knew how to go without things and work hard. That’s the spirit that will make this country great again.
