Recession or Depression?

So are we going to have a recession or a depression in 2026? You’ll notice that economic prosperity is not one of the options. It appears to me that at bare minimum a recession is already baked in the cake. 

It all comes down to Congress. Will they ever grow a backbone and do their job? The mind boggles when one considers how completely they’ve given up their power. Enough politicians have become nothing more than a rubber stamp for the executive branch. That, my friends, is them not doing their jobs.

Personally, I think that we’ll only end up with a recession. Most of our economic issues the government has inflicted on the nation. What they did they can mostly undo. I say only mostly as old trading partners and former allies won’t forget their poor treatment. However, politicians want to get reelected so many will get their act together. 

It’s either that or follow a lame duck President down the road to ruin.
