CNBC talking heads, economists, etc. have been calling for one. Better to prepare now. By the time the recession is confirmed it will probably be over anyway.

We've been "preparing" for a recession for a year. Since then, we've seen low unemployment, flattening inflation, GDP growth, and wage growth in the US. It really is starting to look like the "soft landing" is working.

This will be an entrenched recession. We can’t do QE without exacerbating inflation and we can’t tighten without being unable to service debt.

The problem is the QE didn't stop in 2016 like it should have.
