Recession? What recession?

I’m shocked! Shocked, I say that his has even made it through the AP filters.

Durable Goods Orders Rise by 5.2 Percent

Orders to factories for big-ticket manufactured goods soared in December by the largest amount in five months, welcome news for an economy buffeted by talk of recession.

The 5.2 percent increase in orders was a surprise finish for the manufacturing sector at year's end — a segment of the economy considered to have had a poor year.


This has got to be disappointing news for those looking forward to, nay, salivating over the prospect of a recession.

yep. but the MSM ain't gonna advertise this.

It is probably do to the silver lining in the cloud of the dollar de-evaluating against so many of the world currencies..makes our exports cheaper to buy..
