I’ve noted before how easy it is to cause a recession.

I’ve also noticed that the media has been continuing to bleat the horn right though the Christmas holiday, even though reading the details suggests that sales have been down only 5-8% from last year’s record levels (and Amazon.com reports having its “best holiday season ever“, with sales up 44%).

I’m beginning to suspect that as soon as Obama is inaugurated, we’ll start seeing the “Good News For The Economy” and “Economy Starting to Rebound” messages in the media.

If people will believe the recession is over and start spending again, then lo and behold! The recession *will* be over, all praise the Obama nation we’ve become!
