According to ABC, the American housing, real-estate, and investment banking industries are recession-proof. My theory on why this is the case is that they can't fire anybody on the off chance that they actually do know what they're doing, and they need new people to fix what the old people messed up.

Though this is a good theory the American housing, real-esate, and investment banking industries are in recession whether or not we can clearly see it. They are hurting bad!

Hurting very bad. I mean the US real estate industry only cost the American government, oh, I dunno, around the area of 850 BILLION FUCKING DOLLARS.

Sounds like a recession to me, especially since they aren't giving away half-million dollar home mortgages to homeless people anymore.

Oh, my bad. I meant jobs in the industries are recession-proof. Also, nobody's sarcasm detector went off?

Beep Beep Beep. Sarcasm Detected.

But I was going to say... 850 billion. It's kind of a small recession.

Bah, mere pocket change!

It's actually nice to be reminded not to take our government/economy for granted. We have it real easy in the West.
