It's a system thing, a cancer that is eating away at the economy. The Financial Times reported Wednesday night, à ‚¬Å"US President Barrack Obama warned that the US economy could head into a "double-dip recession" unless urgent steps were taken to rein in mounting public debt.


Obama told Fox Newsà ‚¬"I guess they are talking again-- à ‚¬Å"That's when the economy begins to recover briefly from a recession only to be dragged back under. Obama told Fox News in an interview Wednesday that his administration is weighing tax breaks that could encourage businesses to begin hiring again.
