Blue bars, from now on

Look, I am not saying the economy is the pits, I am just saying we have enough negative grist that the recession committee can put a mild blue bar up for Q4/Q1. It keeps the aesthetic appeal of our Fred charts, its a marker, a reminder of the cost of all the crap we bought from  the Swamp.  Plus, its a reminder to us in the SouthWest, we are still part of the DC dollar economy.  I might be like the Clinton recession, revised away later.
