Recessions are impossible to predict, and most are minor enough that the average citizen doesn't even know it happened
If ever there was a tin eared comment...
The last several recessions:
2007-2009: Great Recession: People remember.
2001: DotCom bust: People remember.
1990/91: People remember this one (It's the economy, stupid)
1981/82: This was what people compared subsequent recessions to, you know, when they talked about them, because they remembered them, until the Great Recession.
1980: Ask Jimmy Carter if that recession meant nothing and no one noticed!
1974/75: You or I don't remember the WIN buttons but they didn't win Ford the election! Stagflation!
Just do me a favor and never talk about things you know nothing about. Kthx.
