It is nice to read some sober thinking on the economy...

PG has it exactly right. Startups are HARD and there are so many factors that are more important than the state of economy.

The odds of success are low enough with a startup already that the economy shouldn't really change the decision making process.

Don't forget that economic downturns, whether real or imagined, are another barrier to entry for your competition.
