Cheerleader Central in the form of Maria Bartiromo, Dennis Kneel, Erin Burnett and Goldilocks Kudlow ALL shook their fingers at us stupid consumers on air in the late winter/early spring of 2008 and accused Americans of "talking ourselves into a recession" - evidently we just needed to keep spending irresponsibly and stay chirpy chirpy happy happy like all their shills (you listening Erin?) and there would be no recession and green money trees would grow to the sky.

You get what you pay for with Cheerleader Central, which equals exactly ZERO.
