According to the news experts are saying Europe is facing another recession in the next few WEEKS! So just as the world recession is supposedly "over" we get another one to ourselves.
And also I think they should rephrase the whole "out of the recession" thing, it's misleading. While technically we're not getting poorer we're not getting any richer either. They should say, "good news, recession's over, you won't get any poorer... You can just get used to being poor for a long time now."
But yea, harsh times.
