Reminds me of the old saying:

"If you watch the pennies, the dollars will look after themselves".

As far as avoiding a recession is concerned, the way I see it is that everything is being done to keep it from happening like lowering interest rates and printing money. However, in my experience, the governments can only do so much until the day of reckoning finally arrives.
