No offense, Jaffa, but that's rather trite. Check the latest:

Job market: At 8:30 a.m. ET, the Labor Department is expected to report that the economy lost 500,000 jobs in December, according to a consensus of analyst estimates compiled by Briefing.com. That compares with 533,000 jobs that were lost in November, which was a 34-year high.
If anything I'm being conservative. People would be well-served by addressing the economic crisis seriously instead of blithely assuming it's all going to go away soon. Again: the impact has not yet been felt. The worst is yet to manifest.
