"No name?" They are considered one of the few non-government authorities on the US economy by most economists.

The "no names" basically invented the method that the government uses to measure the GNP and other economic activity.
They have correctly called every recession to date and are pretty much considered the historic scorekeeper

I take it you don't have an answer. You really don't have to post when you have nothing to say.
I take it you don't know how to do an Internet search. You really shouldn't post a stupid question if you haven't done some basic research first. You make a Palin out of yourself.

The recession was more fun before it was official and just a story that the media eagerly awaited to report
It's a little harder to shrug off now I suppose - not that you can't give it a try.

It is what it is, no matter what you call it. Some people will prosper, most will probably do fine, and some will be a wreck. Such is life. kj.

If we are going to retroactively blame the future for the past, why not here?
I blame Obama for Teapot Dome.
