The clouds of a 2006 Recession are starting to form on America's horizon. Politicians know that Recessions or Depressions are bad for their reelection changes. Bad economic times tend to create unemployment amongrepparttar nice folks holding office atrepparttar 142788 time of economic stress. You can expectrepparttar 142789 Government to do everything possible to delay a Recession until afterrepparttar 142790 November 2006 election. However,repparttar 142791 American economy is currently caught in an upward moving inflation and a Recession would stillrepparttar 142792 fires of a runaway currency. The Real Estate Bubble may be about to burst. And, America's financial institutions appear to be in increasing trouble over failed derivative bets.

If you are a Government bureaucrat with over tens years at your job,repparttar 142793 odds are you have nothing to fear from a Recession. If you work inrepparttar 142794 private sector, you should carefully access your unemployment risks now and take whatever action best meets your potential problems during a Recession.

If you are nearrepparttar 142795 brink of bankruptcy, Congress wants to make your life a living hell. They passedrepparttar 142796 "Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005." There is no question thatrepparttar 142797 current bankruptcy laws offer far more debtor relief fromrepparttar 142798 burden of unmanageable debt than this new Act. If you have too much credit card debt, large medical bills, high mortgage payments, have a variable rate mortgage or have high car payments, you need to carefully review your financial situation, now. If you think that you could lose your job during a Recession, you have until October 2005 to file underrepparttar 142799 present bankruptcy law.

If you are like most Americans, you have too much credit card debt. Afterrepparttar 142802 last Recession,repparttar 142803 banks changedrepparttar 142804 rules ofrepparttar 142805 Credit Card Game. Even if you keep current your monthly credit card payments,repparttar 142806 bank can still demand full payment ofrepparttar 142807 balance on any credit card. If you are unemployed, you won't be able to meet their repayment demands. Ifrepparttar 142808 Recession starts after October 2005, your credit cards can easily leave you drowning in debt forrepparttar 142809 rest of your life. You should plan now to either reduce your credit card debt or have a reliable way to repayrepparttar 142810 banks during a Recession.
