Virtually every piece of hard economic data is telling us that the U.S. economy is slowing down dramatically. Many of the pundits have been warning that we could officially enter recession territory later this year or next year, but these numbers seem to indicate that it could happen a whole lot sooner than that.

But everyone should be paying attention, because things are really starting to get bad out there.

#1 Farm loan delinquencies just hit the highest level that we have seen in 9 years

#2 We just learned that U.S. exports declined by 4 billion dollars during the month of December. 

#3 J.C. Penney just announced that they will be closing another 24 stores

#4 Victoria's Secret has just announced plans to close 53 stores

#5 On Thursday, Gap announced that it will be closing 230 stores over the next two years. 

#6 Payless ShoeSource has declared bankruptcy and is closing all 2,100 stores

#7 Tesla is also closing all of their physical sales locations and will now only sell vehicles online. 

#8 PepsiCo has started laying off workers and has committed to "millions of dollars in severance pay"

#9 The Baltic Dry Index has dropped to the lowest level in more than two years.
