As a result, economic activity will decrease next year, leading to a double dip recession. The stock market's recent correction may be discounting this double dip.http://online.wsj.com/article/http://rightsideproject.blogspot.com/2010/06/tax-hikes-and-2011-economic-collapshe.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (viachicago)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6151938248821114337.post-2515520538577633699Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:24:00 +00002010-03-12T17:34:38.881-06:00Until the Obama Occupation of the White House just over a year ago, the idea of faxing or emailing Rep.
