If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, well, it must be a recession

No one among the candidates is talking about recession, nor about the subprime meltdown in a serious way. Where are the position papers?

And what about the sinking dollar? And the jobs?
The only sensible talk 18Brumaire has heard so far is letting the whopping taxcut that Bush and his toilet bowl cleaner at the Fed Greenspan allowed for the rich, die on the vine.
