Congratulations on your new recession !
Here's how to care for and feed your new economic downturn. Just think.... By applying the right policies, you may be one of the lucky few to turn your baby downturn into a full-blown depression.
Maybe, just maybe, you can follow in the footsteps of FDR and grow A Great Depression ! But for now, let's start small.
1) The best way to grow a recession is to try to kill it. Get Congress, the President, the Unions and the courts involved in killing the recession. These are the people who couldn't run a profitable whorehouse, so your recession is bound to thrive and prosper.
2) Take money from one group and give it to another group. Claim that it is for our own good, and that this will help kill the baby recession. If this doesn't scare away economic growth, nothing will. Then sit back and watch your baby recession grow to maturity.
3) Apply various Keynesian stimulus measures, and apply them deeply and throroughly. Stimulus, stimulus, stimulus. Prevent consumers from spending their own money as they see fit. YOU are the one who is trying to save a recession. Those selfish Tea Party Bastards are trying to reward vendors and suppliers who fill consumers' needs. The State wants to reward donors and unions. Which group do you want spending the money ? Doh!! You have an infant recession to take care of.
4) Take a bunch of people who have never had to hire anybody, fire anybody, or produce a profit, and give them the responsibility for "creating jobs".
5) Let governors get away with bragging about how many jobs that they created. This confuses the electorate, and continues the illusion that a larger, more active government helps an economy. In reality, this just helps your baby recession grow.
6) Like many other living things, recessions grow best in mounds of bullshit. Apply it liberally.
This chart showing ideal recession growth came from Reason magazine. Anyone wanting to grow a recession should avoid this magazine at all costs.

"These people couldn't run a profitable whorehouse."
So whores get laid off when they're not laid on?
