It. >> it is a value judgment, isnt it? the committee tells us the recession began in december 07 says, what, over two years later, it is premature to say we are out of it. you know how economists are, gregg, on the one hand, this and the other hand, that, on the one hand you have the committee saying it is premature to say the recession is over, but on the other hand youve got corporate profits which are absolutely booming. the stock market is taking off, the dow back to around 11,000, as we sp...
