Consumers: Recession is here; pessimism highest since 1986

Contrary to Alan Greenspan or others, consumers believe we’re already in a recession, with consumer confidence hitting its lowest point since the George H.W. Bush recession in 1992. And some sentiment is even worse. The same survey says 86 percent of consumers believe the economy is in decline, the highest since the Reagan recession of 1982.

I think this reflects the reality that we’re going to have the worst recession since 1982.
