Steven Pearlstein, business columnist for the Washington Post, published a column on January 6 entitled, “Recession Over? Not Unless We Make a Major Shift.” The problem is that the “major shift” Pearlstein writes about won’t solve the problem even if it takes place.
So is the recession ending? The professional cheerleaders from Wall Street think so, now that the Dow-Jones has surged past 10,500.
