== Rename the article == 

 This article should be renamed to a less speculative topic. The stock market saw its biggest opening year drop ever as I recall and the economic indicators all show a slowdown that much can be agreed. The fact some call it a recession or say it will lead to one is relevant. There's even talk of stagflation, which is a serious matter that hasn't come up in decades. I think this should be renamed to described the general economic crisis in the country. Some states are actually in a recession after all.
