With the U.S. Congress still struggling to resolve what has come to be known as
the "fiscal cliff" before the deadline passes and we all plunge over the precipice, there
has been a lot of talk and official prediction related to a coming U.S. recession.
And it's not just talk; Europe has fallen back into recession, with even Germany
