I recently researched this online and "Inflation-protected bonds" seem like a good choice. Your principal will be somewhat protected and you'll thus be able to ride out the economic woes of the US without losing your shirt savings-wise.
a recession is the act of drawing back or surrendering.
During a recession when unemployment is high and interest rates are low (assuming this is for plato) good luck
a good indicator is the business cycle diagram and the difference between real GDP and trend rate( which the g'ment is targeting) if real is below trend it is a good indicator that the economy is in a recession. Because this is the case firms are less likely to be spending on capital goods aka. investment spending. They may decide to fix current capital goods.
Its a very good thing now with the recession!
Fiscal deficit is said to be good for the country as it helps the country to climb out of a recession.
Safe investments are still available. There are many companies that are "recession proof", such as utilities and commodities. An investment banker can work up a financial portfolio for you, and give you some good options.
Corporate bonds are a decent way to get interest back off your investment. You have to invest in a good company though. You can find out more on Investopedia.
good time to buy investment in housing/construction companies. during a recession they are strongest hit and share prices are low. they are the first to recover from the recession but by the time people realise the recession is over the 'boom' time for investment has already past. the jonnie-come-latelys always just miss the boat. my advice - only always risk what you can afford to lose. invest in housebuilders with strong government contracts before the recssion eg council house building on their books. then buy shares at their lowest, wait for the boom then just when you think its all going well and things are shooting up sell while the market is still a buzz with evidence of recession recovery and sell. you will get a good price because people will see the price soaring and want a slice of it and panic buy. you will have made you return, get out before it levels off. source - investment broker 25years

No it is not a good idea. Many people do not find Municipal bonds to be a great investment if you do not have extra money to apply to them. So I would go with another bond.
