The Bagel

What is a bagel you ask? Not only is it a piece of delicious bread and a well-known Jewish stereotype, it's also the cover up for a bad word that my AP US History teacher uses. No, the bad word is not any form of profanity. In the stock market it probably is, but not in every day life. The word you ask? Recession. Yes, the mother of all profanity. You might be wondering, "Why recession?" Very interesting question. It's going to happen sooner or later. The future president of our country will be dealing with this problem. He/She must know how to deal with it. If not, we'll have another depression, or hell, another Black Friday. Losing 5 billion in one day is not exactly good for the economy. The question isn't if we're going into a bagel or not. That's already been answered. We are. The question ties in with the prelims and the upcoming presidential election in November. Will the new president be able to handle it? That's the issue, aside from the war in Iraq. How are other countries going to deal with the bagel that we're going to throw at them. I'm no fan of economics or politics for that matter, but this is a serious issue. Falling into a bagel will suck. Big time. Will we have a hero by the name of Mr./Mrs President to save us from it?
