Ignore Recent Good News...Things Are Still Terrible!

I am confused. Are you saying you want the country to go into a deeper recession?

Yes, no more positive news, it leaves little for the doomers to whine about.

bob - i think it's a sarcastic poke at doom-and-gloomers who don't want to hear/believe anything but the worst.

exit2, were you being sarcastic or does your first name happen to be Osama?

I am being sarcastic, of course.

I am making fun of SE posters like InvestorMan, HimWhoKnows, MMafia, etc., who were joyously calling for the country to go into a deeper recession.

"Stay home, do not spend your disposable income. This will force the country into a deeper recession and inevitably lower Manhattan housing prices."

That's a great idea. I always wanted to have a 25% unemployment rate and stand in soup lines every day!

Seriously, your an ignoramus. If we go int a depprer recesion or possibly a depresion, lower prices will not help you oen bit since you won't have a job! Plus, you won't be able to get a loan because either the banks will all go under or they will raise their standards so much that only Bill Gates will be able to get a mortgage!
