Max Baucus warned Wednesday that when the U.S. Congress reconvenes, among its top priorities would be legislation to grapple with the potential for a recession. “Are we going to have a recession or not?” Baucus, a Democrat up for re-election in 2008, said. “It’s going to a get a little touch-and-go nationwide.” Acknowledging that Montana usually manages to avoid the worst of the nation's economic downturns, Baucus said he was concerned that as interest rates in so-called sub-prime mortgages begin to climb, the national economy could suffer.
