What, a US recession? What great news. :lol: This obviously isn't the no spin zone.

People are panicking about a slow 1% rise in the economy? What? The only change that people are seeing is a slow in growth from 4%+ to 1%. The difference between small growth and boomimg growth. We may be on the edge of a recession, but the numbers are still in the positive. Anyway, it is currently taking 3 months to add the GDP of a country like Saudi Arbia to this country instead of the normal 1 month right now. So what.

Anyway, I am talking about the falling dollar. This is not a discussion about a recession. Please keep on topic. Thanks.

Nice article. Maybe the customer service jobs will come back here, so I can understand what they are saying. But I have soooooo much fun when a foreign telemarketer calls me.:up:

Sounds more like a bail out for British banks than anything. British banks aren't lending due to fear, so their economy is going down the tubes because of it.

The world's economies are so interconnected that if one (especially a big one like the USA) goes into recession, almost all of them will be seriously hurt.

The way you talk you would think that this is entirely a British problem with the British banks. Rather it is a global credit crisis with it's origins across the other side of the pond in the US.

UK "economy going down the tubes". How melodramatic of you.
