    Anyone that believes the American economy is in recovery is in denial of the facts. Pumping fiat money into the stock market, like the Fed is currently doing, is just creating an illusion of a recovery until the bubble bursts, which you can expect shortly after the November elections. The administration is, once again, trying to fools the people.

    Actually most of the press is big business and doing what's best for their corporations.

    MM, I'll second everything that you've said, except that I would like to point out a common flaw that many are falling for -- insurance for a pre-existing condition. That is not insurance. It is like calling your car insurance company and buying a policy right after a crash. By forcing insurance companies cover pre-existing conditions, the rules have been re-defined and the rates reflect that. No surprise here, is there?

    I feel for you. I lost 2 different jobs due to the economic conditions. Luckily was able to find employment that utilizes my skillset. If the economy truly tanks, I'll be in the same boat.

    I wasn't saying that I was the worst, far from it. It was just a quasi-example of how things have gotten worse. I figure I ahead of most since I've been able to work most of the time.
    My daily prayer is for this to end so that the country can heal and move forward. That others msy receive good news. I never ask for anything for myself.

    Wreckovery is a good term for what America is experiencing. Alas, those who voted for Obama, not once but twice, have only themselves to blame. Sad thing is we're all on the same train headed straight to derailment. Hang on folks, it's going to be a bumpy ride !!!

    When Obama was elected I had a full time job with a great company. Since then I've been unemployed for a total of 20 months, half of that time not even eligible for unemployment (self-employed contract worker)). I'm currently unemployed again.
    Insurance rates are through the roof. I must say that being able to buy insurance with a pre-existing condition is nice, but the price is enough to give one heart failure.
    In general, I would say that I am considerably worse off that before His Majesty was anointed.

    Good find. Thanks for posting Rich.

    Those signs were posted around here, and the only jobs created where the ones to put up the signs. Of wait. Those guys were already on the payroll. My mistake.
