The "experts" are a bunch of idiots who don't understand or care about anything except their own personal gain.

Ain't that the truth

The thing is generally what ever they say happens, so if they talk long enough about a recession, people stop spending as much money in case there is one, followed by spending even less as " The Experts " say a recession has started.

When I started driving it was 16p a gallon
The break point of 25p a gallon came at the same time Beer hit 25p a pint.
We said then that we'd stop drinking if it went to 25.5p a pint....
