You are a nutty guy Nue,
We have been recovering for months now.
Its a slow recovery and that is how it had to be. It was a deep recession and very well my be labeled a depression after the fact.
None the less recovery is coming and the numbers show a remarkable v shape from the year before Bush left to now.
This means Obama and his stimulus saved the day.
Cons tanked us with their lack of regulations and lack of oversight.
Obama and the libs saved us with the stimulus and march towards sound regulations.
Many will never admitt it even with all the evidence lying right in front of them.
You cant fix stupid.
Nothing but lies from you as usual. We are still shedding jobs. Unemployment is over thirty million now and it is not improving.
If we were a manufacturing dominant economy, we could say that factories are slow to hire coming out of a recession, BUT we are NOT a manufacturing economy.
We are a service sector economy and that is where we are losing jobs. That is the reason why we are up to thirty million out of work.
Obama has royally fucked things up. There has been no overall improvement on his watch. I think he should resign in disgrace because of his massive corruption. We do not need shitheads like him in office. The sooner he is impeached or forcefully removed from office the better it will be for the United States.
I believe the country needs to take a different direction.
Manufacturing jobs are picking up because inventories are low. But restocking inventories are different than a growing economy.
There has been this drive by big business for cheap labor. The truth is your labor pool is where you hope to sell your products. Sure, you can make a quick buck if you cut benefits and lay off workers. But what happens in the long run? You've got no place to sell your goods. You made a killing in a year, but what happens the next year when there is no one to sell to?
Big business has to nurture it's labor force if it wants to continue to make profits in this country.
Of course, many companies have moved to "Zug" or the Cayman Islands.

Companies like BP, Trans-Ocean and Halliburton. They do this to avoid paying taxes. They just bleed this country dry. And then the Conservative Supreme Court calls them "people" and says they can spend as much as they want in the political process.
Then there are those that believe education is for "elitist". When I was a kid, every parent wanted their child to go to college and become a doctor, engineer, scientist, professor, businessman, just get an education and things will sort themselves out. Every parent. Now you have an entire political party that scoffs at education. Calls it communist and Marxist. I'm incredulous. What is wrong with these people? How did they get this stupid?
Worse, the people who need the help the most, want it and fight it at the same time.
This country is in a mess. It may take hitting rock bottom to get people to wake up.
