I agree. But that doesn't make it recession.
I also heard, around the time of the state of the union, that spending on the elderly and disabled has again been cut. You're sacrificing a lot for a war that isn't going very well. It doesn't mean that the economy is doing worse. It will sure have an impact on it, but sadly the military machine has a large economical influence in your country too. Increased income from an increased economy being badly spent doesn't imply recession. It could work in the advantage of a recession, but since we've already had one not so long ago I don't think that's going to happen. But I could of course be wrong too
