Question is, would the Administration be so stupid as to play with fire? By stoking fears of a recession, those doing it may just get what they're wishing for, but at an unimaginable cost. Meaning that their plan just may work, tipping us in to a recession, making it necessary to offer an economic stimulus, which unfortunately would be off little use in case of a real recession. And it is of little use, other than for scoring political points and corporate profits, in case we don't have the recession.
