Funny Money Friday: Recession Blues

Money doesn't have to be boring! Each week, CreditBloggers.com takes a look at the lighter side of the personal finance world in a series called Funny Money Friday.

I'm starting to get a little woozy from all the economic ups and downs. Fed rate changes used to be big news, now they're reported along with the daily weather. Can someone stop the ride, I want to get off? One of my friends told me that her company announced major cutbacks yesterday and she's selling her car to better afford her mortgage. Yikes.

Time to sit back with your can of cold baked beans and sing along with B.B. King's The Recession Blues:

Media crying recession is just a self fulfilling prophecy. Wait for two consecutive quarters of negative GDP before making the claim of recession. The up and down stuff is the correction we're going through which is slowing the economic growth. This will eventually balance out, especially after the long over-drawn out election is over.
