Maybe it's because I invest very wisely and instead of falling on my ass, my investments have either broken even or gone up slightly lately.
Add to that the fact that gas prices dropped below $2 for the first time in 4 years here, maybe we need to rethink this whole "recession bad" mentality.

$1.98 on the way in to work today and supposed to continue lower...

Meh...I like recessions.   [wine]

1.98 - you suck.  CR is still over 2.40  >:(  Seems like DM is the low cost gas place now-a-days.

Bah!  The closest station to me is still $3.05... But I've seen price in DC (usually $.2-.3 higher) that are lower than my station... wtf.  >:(

Oh another positive is the downward trend of the Euro vs the Dollar... Maybe those S&P rearsets won't be so goddamn expensive now.  Current trading has $1.25447 to 1E in april is was about $1.60
