Do you think the U.S. will have a recession in 2022?

Hi Dion, it's also worth mentioning, that Young Jeezy's album you quoted the lyric from is called The Recession. In 2020, The Recession 2 came out.. I hope, he is now working on the 3rd instalment to release it if that happens :)

I love the rap meets economics endings. I have learned way more than I expected from them.

I tried to warn people during the Trump Administration about fiscal spending and waste and I told everybody by 2022 we would all be eating our pets and drinking rainwater out of the gutter and it would be a bipartisan event ...

Treat EVERYDAY as if though it is a very deep RECESSION!!!! This will help protect ourselves against disappointments, financial troubles, sadness, and so forth.
