Recession 101

Recession 101
The name given to a billboard campaign urging Americans to worry less about the recession.

“Amid ominous economic forecasts and repeated bleak reports about America’s financial future, messages of hope can be hard to come by,” Jesse Solomon wrote for CNN.

One advertising campaign, dubbed “Recession 101,” has hit the nation’s roadsides with an array of slogans aimed at getting people to think optimistically during the recession.
These slogans include:
Stop obsessing about the economy, you’re scaring the children. Interesting fact about recessions … they end. Self worth is greater than net worth. This will end long before those who caused it are paroled.
According to The Associated Press, the campaign was “funded by an anonymous East Coast donor who was depressed about how the country was reacting to the economy’s tailspin.” CNN reported that there are approximately 2,000 of these posters spread over 30 or so states.
