Given the recent economic news, I will go out on a limb and state that we are officially headed back into recession, or what can now officially be called a double-dip recession. Business optimism is at a record low, commodities prices have jumped to inflationary levels, home sales recently dropped to prices not seen since 2008, and job growth is anemic. We are just waiting for GDP data to confirm the inevitable. As Forbes reported, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve has admitted that he is officially “clueless on the economy’s soft patch.”
