You have to look hard to find negative economic news.  While there is always a recession ahead of us, it is very far ahead of us indeed.  There are very few signs on the horizon.

I don’t recall a period when good economic news was so abundant.
Like snow, good news falls quietly. 
Happy Economic Holidays, America!
