We're safe bros ! The economy is now safe thanks to Alfred E. and company. This straight from the guy whose most famous quote was, \" A crisis is too good a opportunity to waste\":

\"White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told The New York Times Obama intends to use the news conference as a \"six-month report card,\" to talk about \"how we rescued the economy from the worst recession
\" and the legislative agenda moving forward, including health care and energy legislation.\"

Well, that's the thing about recessions. If you can convince people that they are not happening you are already half way out of them. Kind of like a placebo effect for a sick financial system.
