No. I'm excited about it. The 2008 recession was the best opportunity for people to buy homes, stocks, etc. Even in the great depression almost everyone had a job and were doing fine. During the 2008 recession, almost everyone had a job and did fine. As long as you didn't get scared off by the fearmongers in the news and media, you would have done well if you bought a home or invested in pretty much anything. If you have a decent job and/or some money save ( this is pretty much every working individual ), you want a recession. Not only do you want a recession, you want a really bad recession.
