Rose-Colored Recession

See: Recession.

Everything looks...kind of pink. And rosy. Is the economy back? Are those bulls we hear? Are the bears all gone?

Nope. Check again later.

A rose-colored recession is just that: the rise of hope that the economy will bounce back while it’s in the midst of a recession. Just keep thinking positively, they say. Just ignore the bill collectors calling you with automated calls 20 times a day. It’ll all be fine...everything’s fine. Because unemployment is down 0.0001%! Didn't you know?

Usually, a rose-colored recession comes about from tidbits of “good news” about the economy being dripped into the masses’ ears, giving them false hope. And everyone wants to believe it...that the end of the bear-era is near. But no...the bulls have yet to show up and scare the bears away.
