You know I’m always confused and mixed up

What is a recession, what is a depression?

What are we in and going into?

Which one is good, which one is bad, are they both bad?

How long will this last anyway?

Talking About No Cosigner Student Loans

June 30th, 2009 | Posted in Finance :: Loans / Lease   Add Comment

I’ve recently become interested in No Cosigner Student Loans.
My parents are leery of cosigning for my loans, so I’d rather keep them in my name if possible.
At this point, I think I’ve read all there is to read on Student Loans With No Credit Check And No Cosigner. I’m bummed about the debt, but what other choice is there?
The only other choice I can see is a lifetime of second-rate earnings.
I’ll keep you posted.

How long will the Pelosi recession last?

x asked:


Any ideas?

It’s called the “Pelosi recession” because it was caused by DEMOCRATS. Note that the recession started when DEMOCRATS took over congress. Six years of Republican congress = no recession. As soon as the Democrats came in = RECESSION.

Therefore to be fair and balanced the recession should be called the PELOSI RECESSION.

The last time the US was in a recession, as I remember as a young child was in the early 90’s under the first Bush. I don’t understand how exactly a recession affects the economy, and how it differs from a depression.

I’ve heard talk of the economic downturn and recession on the news every day for months now, but I have not seen any change to my personal life at all. I still spend as much money as I did before the current “crisis.”

What defines either? When do we know that we are in either a recession or a depression? What barometer is used?

How would you explain to someone that a recession or stock market crash is not the failure of capitalism?

How would you explain to someone that a recession or stock market crash is not the failure of capitalism? With the stock market crashing in the past couple of months, unemployment soaring, and the Big 3 automakers on the verge of bankruptcy I’ve heard more than one person comment that it’s all proof that capitalism is outdated or never worked very well. How would you explain to them that capitalism does work?

I’m thinking about getting into the paralegal career but I’ve heard that the job market is really bad right now due to the recession. But is the paralegal field actually doing worse than other fields?

Recession?

Justin asked:


Are we in a recession? If I remember correctly from my college economics class there is a precise definition to a recession. Something like multiple quarters without growth.

It seems to me this should be a simple answer. There was either growth for the required time or there was not. Why are some people saying that we are in a recession and some are saying that we are not?

Does anyone know what the definition of a recession is and have the numbers to back it either way?
