I see more possibility of inflation and over heated economy than a recession. Unless you have not visited a grocery store lately, you have not seen the inflation. Everything is up, including property taxes, sales taxes, utility taxes, doctor's bills, hospital bills, health insurance premiums, and HOUSING prices. Even interest rates are creeping upwards. And the gubbermint claims there are more job openings that workers available to fill them.

Yap, I see over-heating, not a recession.
