A little restraint

Re “All eyes on U.S. as world markets dive,” Jan. 22

Why is everyone so worried about a recession? In the last five years of our economic boom, there has been a troubling rise in the number of people who are extremely self-involved, greedy, ungrateful and who feel a sense of entitlement never before seen in this country. Maybe a recession will bring us back together as Americans and teach us to appreciate what we have. It’s worth a try.

I say let the receding begin.
